Mozilla software engineer Jared Wein has worked hard and put together an unofficial (at the moment) Australis UI build that you can download as a regular installer or as a portable in zip file format.

Here is a closer look at the new tab setup in the Australis build. Notice that only the focused tab is non-transparent while the non-active tabs blend nicely into the background.

Special Note: Our screenshots were taken in Windows 8, thus the slightly different looking (non-rounded) corners on the app window.

The test build only works on Windows at the moment, but you can bet that Linux and MacOS builds are coming in the near future!
