If you haven’t yet used Fluid, it’s a great way to keep fluxiom open and available all the time, independently from your browser tabs. It’s also a way to ease your users into the crazy concept of web applications, by blurring the lines between the desktop and the cloud. And, of course, since fluxiom’s interface is so desktop-like to begin with, many may never notice the difference.

Here are the bare essentials of a Fluid setup, but be sure to season to taste:

Setting up Fluid to access your fluxiom account

tag iconFor the ultimate power tool arrangement, we recommend pairing fluxiom with fluxUp!, our native uploader for Mac OS X — and Windows. Upload, store and share files right from your Desktop. There is virtually no delay between the time a file is uploaded and the time it appears in your account interface, meaning fluxiom can take part in the fastest-paced workflows.

We now automatically provide Fluid instances with a custom icon — which you can change from within the application, of course — so that your Dock always looks its best. Our designers also gave the fluxUp! icon a little facelift of its own, empowering both applications to live together in “pairfect” harmony…
