This software allows users to easily access and add hidden preferences to Safari without using the Terminal. It simplifies the process and makes it more accessible for all users.
Safari 4 brings with it a range of new features to improve user experience. However, not all of these changes have been met with open arms from some users. For instance, the new Tabs on Top feature has come under scrutiny, while some web sites find it frustrating that JavaScript can only open new tabs and not windows. Another downside is that the address bar no longer displays the load progress. If this is something that you miss, you can modify your preferences to re-enable it.
Thankfully, there is a way to tweak some of the hidden options in Safari 4 without even having to restart the program. It seems that there is a secret menu available for this purpose, one that even Apple is unaware of. By using this menu, users can achieve a range of helpful modifications. For example, the user can toggle between the Safari 4 and Safari 3 style tabs, or toggle the address bar to include additional controls. Users can even toggle the Top Sites feature on and off completely.
To install these tweaks, simply go to your Applications folder and right-click on the Safari app. Then, click "Show package content". Next, navigate to "Contents/Resources/English.lproj" folder and put the contents of the safaritweaks.zip archive into this folder. When prompted to overwrite an existing file, select this option. This will modify the Safari menu, allowing users to access the new options. Once complete, start Safari and you should see the new Safari > Tweaks menu. In summary, while Safari 4 has not been perfect for everyone, these hidden modifications offer greater control and customization for those seeking it.
