Does this look normal? Notice the Bookmarks bar is a different shade.

Hm. No problems here. Try a restart?

How come all these problems weren't reported in the developer builds?
 
It's a common form of Hazing for the new OS. Devs will pretend to ignore certain issues so that when it hits the public it's humiliated. They took it a bit far with vista =\
 
Problem is still there after restart and reinstalling Safari =\
 
Is it an isolated issue for Safari? Do you get the band in the same area of the display or does it move with the Safari window? Do you get the same banding in other apps?

I didn't get this in any of the Dev builds of SL, and I also tried the GM build too.
 
ONLY Safari shows the band and it goes wherever the window or windows goes, but not in my other accounts.
 
Have you tried deleting all your InputManagers and SIMBL plugins?

Does this occur in a "clean" user? i.e. the guest?
 
If it only occurs on your account, you need to delete your preference file.

Here's how, quit Safari first:

Go to this folder: MACINTOSH HD>USERS>YOUR HOME FOLDER>LIBRARY>PREFERENCES

Then, find the file that says com.apple.Safari.plist and delete it.

Open Safari and it should be back to normal.
 
My Top Sites window has been literally shaking. Really weird. Anyone else seeing this?

(I am running Safari in 32bit mode so I can use AdBlock)
 
No, loft, never seen it.

I deleted the preferences and restarted, nada.

*sigh*

I'm thinking I'll create another admin account, completely remove Safari and the web plugins and then reinstall in the other account and delete the bastard so that discolored bar spends forever in infinity!

Or what you could have done is clean install - like you should have done from day one.
 
OH great! I did a fresh install the way Mr. Genioso said to do and you know what? IT'S STILL THERE! AND now I have to reinstall my printer drivers and fix my settings! >8
 
I KNOW WHAT HAPPENED!

I USED THE BUILT IN SCREEN COLOR SETTINGS AND THE BAR IS INVISIBLE! Yet when I use a custom setting, BLAMO!

The Apple devs didn't match the colors! They did it by EYE with default calibrations!!!

LULUL! It's gone!

I W1N! I was the first to report this problem to Apple, he said he will make sure the higher-ups (actually the developers, doi!) get hold of this and fix it by next Safari update. What a bunch of maroons.
 
Bru, just use one of the default screen calibrations! Simple as that!

It's really a band-aid but I haven't felt like I needed to calibrate my screen manually since I chose one of the defaults.

Good luck bru...

Doesn't seem to work for me:( But I guess I can just live with it.
