@Dan Welsh
If you mean by “full page zoom” that increasing/decreasing the font size will also affect images, then you can get this in iCab already. Just enter “settings:” in the URL field (without the quotes but including the colon) and hit the return key. this will open several hidden settings. In the “Web Page Content” section you’ll find the setting to change the way zooming works.

Fast and Renders Perfect. I will buy iCab soon. I like Safari because of full page zoom, but it’s to slow. I lke OmniWeb but once again to slow. Please Alexander get full page Zoom in an upcoming release. Then I will have Perfection.

ROCKIN! Thanks for the post. This also works for using WK nightlies within Safari. Just edit one of the downloads and tweak for Safari and there you are! Then all your plugins are back for Safari as well

Thanks for the mention Alexander, for a check on whether the nightly is running or not you can point the iCab at: http://spotthehall.net/fun/WebKitDetect.html

When you extract the WebKitDetect archive (webkit_normal.zip) you’ve downloaded from the WebKit nightly site, you should get two files, “WebKitDetect.js” and “WebKitDetect.html”.
And you have to open the “WebKitDetect.html” file in iCab.

Thank you so very much !!

Launching via iCabWK.app is easy {but it helped me to read its RadMe}. If you are already using the “nightly” webkit builds for Safari, then you already have the required Webkit.app in your Applications folder. It seemed to me that iCab 4.6.1 with the latest build of webkit [#46646] was rendering my home page slightly differently.

The only part I could not get to work was running WebKitDetect.js. I tried the Open File command and iCab simply displayed it as a text file. But as I launched via iCabWK after I previously set the iCab identity prefs to Best Compatability I’m pretty sure that I am actually use the WebKit.app
