Hidden Safari 4 settings

    A study of the Safari 4 executable revealed the following hidden settings:
    • DebugSafari4TabBarIsOnTop
      bookmarks bar at the top
    • DebugSafari4IncludeToolbarRedesign
      new toolbar (plus glued to the address bar)
    • DebugSafari4IncludeGoogleSuggest
      hints when entering text into the Google search box
    • DebugSafari4IncludeFancyURLCompletionList
      artsy list of hints when entering text in the address bar
    • DebugSafari4IncludeTopSites
      enable / disable the Top Sites feature
    • DebugSafari4LoadProgressStyle
      obviously refers to the fact that progress is no longer shown in the address bar
    • DebugSafari4IncludeFlowViewInBookmarksView
      disables CoverFlow in history
    All of this is enabled by default. In Mac OSs are disabled by input in the Terminal:
    defaults write com.apple.Safari name Settings -boolean NO
    To return as it was, spelled YES instead of NO . On Windows, you can most likely add the appropriate keys to the registry.

    UPD: To enable page loading progress, you must disable both DebugSafari4LoadProgressStyle and DebugSafari4IncludeToolbarRedesign. This feature is googled here .
    UPD 2: Further research led to the creation of a separate menu for managing settings .
    UPD 3: Thanks for the karma. Improved, merged and moved to the Safari blog .
    UPD 4: A similar solution for Windows in the same place .
