Simply drag the app into the Applications Folder, move your SIMBL folder from within »/Library/Application Support« to the one in your user account, start the app.
You can then delete SIMBL.osax in »/Library/ScriptingAdditions«.
It does not work though here, if you log-out and in again. You have to erstarrt. - EasySIMBL 1.1.1
You get the read-me file only if you download the source if you press the button »Download as zip«.

Don't remember which app I installed it for, and not sure if I still need it, but pretty sure I don't. I may have used it for TotalFinder, which no longer requires SIMBL.

Since he hasn't updated it in nearly a year nor responded to ANY of the panicked queries here or anywhere else, clearly Mike Solomon has abandoned SIMBL — and his implicit promise to all the developers whose apps rely on it. Oh, and millions of us users, too.

What you will see from the user perspective is after a day or so of usage (heavy usage or if light then it might happen later) you get random behaviour of the OS. Things like Finder and Dock start freezing up. Sometimes you get various programs loosing UI responsiveness, the keyboard visual indicators like volume up and down, brightness up and down don't always show up, etc. You get the picture it's all random. I though I was going crazy until I took a look at the logs. SIMBL is actually working as an exploit to the OS (i.e. a rootkit of sorts. The OS can recover most of the time from the problems that SIMBL causes but the problem is that once you terminate a faulty process and reload it SIMBL comes back online and sooner or later you are back where you started.
Save yourselves the trouble and wait until a lion compatible version is released. And yes the main problem is with the code not being thread safe!
I hope the dev figures it out and releases a fix soon because I'm on the verge of dumping SIMBL and all the lovely apps that rely on it, which would be a shame.

So perhaps once OS 10.7 is officiously released we'll eventually see an update. As of now it appears SIMBL does not work with Lion and/or Safari 5.1. However, I'm not an experienced dev and very well could be mistaken.

Still, since I typically have two or three windows open with 30 or 40 tabs in a window, the idea of losing SafariStand and using the standard horizontal tabs is a bummer. Again thanks for taking the initiative on this. Since Lion is only $30, and it comes out this July, maybe it won't be a long wait -- IF SIMBL will in fact work with Lion.

I don't have Lion installed, so I can't testify whether simbl works or not.

Hope they can do an LION SIMBL.

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, restarting the macbook with no help.
I did that and it worked just fine with Booglemarks

1.) Booting in 64-bit Kernel mode. Open fast user switching menu.
2.) Do not logout current account but switching to another account immediately via fast use switching menu.
While OS X loading the upper right menubar at the beginning, it takes serious delay and results in a blank upper right menubar. Only spotlight icon shows up w/o response. Any idea? Thanks.
