Fluid sets the Web site's default favicon as the icon for your newly-created app, so you may want to choose one that's a bit better quality. The created app was basic, but it provided the same content and features as the Web platform on which it's based. It took us less than a minute to create an app and no problems were encountered. For testing purposes we created a standalone Gmail app for our mail account. Click on a newly-created app and it will run in an app window, rather than as a tab in your Web browser. The Web site is transformed into a basic Mac app that you can place in the Dock area and conveniently access without having to run Safari. Just enter the URL of the site, type a name for the app, choose a location, and an icon, and that's it - no programming knowledge required. Once you've installed Fluid for Mac, turning a Web site into a real Mac app is an easy process. Don't expect it to create iPhone-like apps, though. If running Web apps like Facebook, Pandora, or Gmail in a separate tab of your Web browser annoys you, you'll love the practicality of this easy-to-use application.
