Code:
defaults write com.apple.Safari DebugSafari4TabBarIsOnTop -bool NO


admin edit: Below is the current full list of known options.

Code:
strings /Applications/Safari.app/Contents/MacOS/Safari | grep DebugSafari4 DebugSafari4TabBarIsOnTop DebugSafari4IncludeToolbarRedesign DebugSafari4IncludeFancyURLCompletionList DebugSafari4IncludeGoogleSuggest DebugSafari4LoadProgressStyle DebugSafari4IncludeFlowViewInBookmarksView DebugSafari4TopSitesZoomToPageAnimationDimsSnapshot DebugSafari4IncludeTopSites
To apply any of the following changes, open Terminal.app, copy the relevant "defaults" command(s) and press enter, and then restart Safari. You must restart Safari after applying defaults for the changes to take effect.

To undo any change, instead use "defaults delete" instead of "defaults write", such as:
Code:
defaults delete com.apple.Safari DebugSafari4TabBarIsOnTop

Move the tab bar back into the window:
Code:
defaults write com.apple.Safari DebugSafari4TabBarIsOnTop -bool NO

Move the "Add Bookmark" and "Stop/Reload" buttons out of the URL field:
Code:
defaults write com.apple.Safari DebugSafari4IncludeToolbarRedesign -bool NO

Restore the blue loading bar behind the URL field (yes, you need both of these):
Code:
defaults write com.apple.Safari DebugSafari4IncludeToolbarRedesign -bool NO defaults write com.apple.Safari DebugSafari4LoadProgressStyle -bool NO

Switch off the new URL autocomplete menu and use the original one:
Code:
defaults write com.apple.Safari DebugSafari4IncludeFancyURLCompletionList -bool NO

Turn off the new Google suggest menu:
Code:
defaults write com.apple.Safari DebugSafari4IncludeGoogleSuggest -bool NO

Remove Cover Flow from the bookmarks view:
Code:
defaults write com.apple.Safari DebugSafari4IncludeFlowViewInBookmarksView -bool NO

Disable the dimming when you click on a Top Site and it scales the screenshot up to fill the screen:
Code:
defaults write com.apple.Safari DebugSafari4TopSitesZoomToPageAnimationDimsSnapshot -bool NO

Disable Top Sites feature completely:
Code:
defaults write com.apple.Safari DebugSafari4IncludeTopSites -bool NO

Hmm. Yeah, I think I'll stick with that, thanks! Shame the name suggests they'll eventually drop this setting…

Just in case anyone missed it, here's terminal commands to bring back the slightly more useful blue loading bar:

I can't get it to work. I tried both adding that in terminal as one line and as two and it doesn't do anything. im running 10.4.11

I've split this thread from the Apple Releases Safari 4 Public Beta thread and edited the original post to consolidate all the current "defaults" settings that you can use with the new Safari 4 beta to make it look and behave like Safari 3.

For those that want to customize but don't want to mess with Terminal.

The two options for the loading bar are still there, but the other debug options are gone now.

All I want is the refresh/stop loading button to be where it used to be. That's all I want.

Since virtually none of the above options work with the final version of Safari 4, I'm un-sticking this thread.

As for pulling reload/stop into it's own button, it looks like that's no longer possible. Sorry, zsummers.

Thanks, Brad. I suppose it's time I learned the appropriate keyboard shortcuts anyway.
