Is there any way I can change/ customize the thumbnail pic of the top sites?
Here is what I have came across so far, in which wasn't very specific so it only got me so far with out accomplishing anything....
"1/ Edit all your top sites and pin them in place. Close Safari.
2/ Open Finder, Press ⌘⌃G (Cmd+Shift+G) and type:
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/
and Go.
3/ Open the Webpage Previews folder.
4/ Select all and Delete.
5/ Open Safari and let all the Top Sites thumbnails load. Close Safari.
6/ Go back to the Webpage Previews folder. Now you will have fresh images for just the top sites which will make editing them easier. There will be a JPEG and PNG for each site.
7/Open Terminal, Paste this and press enter:
Code:
defaults write com.apple.Safari DebugSnapshotsUpdatePolicy -int 2
This stops Safari from refreshing the thumbnails (to re-enable, remove " -int 2" from the end)
8/ Now to edit the thumbnails. This requires a little patience. This was my method which I think was quickest, however you can make them whatever you want.
9/ Just hit spacebar to preview the image to work out which site it is for. Drag both the jpg and png to an image editing program (I use Photoshop).
10/ Drag the logo for the site into the one of the image windows, resize to fit.
11/ Recolour background layer to suit and block out existing site preview.
12/ Merge Visible. This will make the image a single layer, and save (it should just save over the original automatically. You may have to set the quality for the jpg)
13/ Repeat for other preview.
14/ Drag next 2 previews into Photoshop and repeat.
15/ Once you have changed all your previews, open up Safari and admire your work.
REMEMBER: Make sure you disable the thumbnail refreshing before editing, if you don't, Safari will update the thumbnails and delete your work."
