Why do the Midori Browser screenshots look like they're a Mac app and yet the download page says it's not available for OS X?


Yeah, a bit stupid, they even showcase the browser on macs only (guess they like the clean look). It's a GTK app, Gnome3 apps do look similar to osX apps. The full screen button though, it is very out of place. It is problably the result of using it on Elementary OS (where it is de default browser), a Linux distro that aims to emulate osX. [0]

They look like on a Mac because they're on ElementaryOS, a failry well-known Linux distro focused and usability that looks pretty much like OSX.

They always use Macbook-like laptops for the images, I guess, because why would you not use the most beautiful or iconic laptop your software can run on? ElementaryOS works great on macbooks.
