You don't have tabs on top. Tabs on top were where the tabs were in the titlebar (Safari 4 Beta). There are no new color schemes as some have stated. No idea what they are talking about, maybe weird display issues.
Got a tip for us?

I have to say that I'm still on Safari 3.2.3 with Webkit nightly builds and I don't think I'm missing out on any new feature that Safari 4 brings.
I'm enjoying the very same (or probably better since I use Webkit nightly builds) speed enhancements of Safari 4 but with the website compatibility of Safari 3. To me web browsing is all about the websites and a feature like Top Sites is playful but useless.
Keep it simple and make it faster and safer rather than flashier, would be my request to Apple. Oh well different strokes.

I don't think its already been mentioned, but 4.0.2 fixes the problems with Safari 4 on the clamshell iBook. Before, the low screen resolution was not taken into consideration, and web pages would be off centered and there was no way to scroll and see everything.
You know you could always go and enable the status bar if you want more information about page loading.
I did have 4.0.2 go nuts and use up all remaining CPU cycles (was using about 78% CPU)... couldn't figure out why my CPU was running so hot and the fans were going up, until I saw it was pegged thanks to Safari. Had like 2 sites open and neither page seemed to have anything at all to cause that.
Am I the only person who wants to see the death penalty only for people who ask stupid questions, make stupid statements or propagate spam?
tabs and status bar
I didn't like the Tabs on top of the status bar. I keep looking for them to be on the bottom like they have always been (and now too).
As for the status bar going across in stead of it just saying 'loading'. I want the status bar back. It was easy to tell if a web page stalled then it is now. Now I have to look at the bottom to see if it's doing any thing.
What's with this purple theme! Is it a joke or what? If not, then I want a screen shot!!!!

It just makes no sense why they can't at least give us a defaults write terminal command.
Ain't tweaks doing something about this?

you can have the progress bar in firefox, i do.
Yup! I like the progress bar too, that's just one reason I have switched to FF 3.5
YES!! Came here to post this. This is a monumental moment! Safari no longer has a heart attack with animated GIFs. This was especially infuriating; having a unibody MacBook Pro grind to a halt because of a 49kb file really sucks.
Are you sure? Try this page: http://www.sherdog.net/forums/f7/gif-thread-2-0-a-668876/index2444.html
Let the gifs load and then scroll down and up.
Ever heard of a joke?
I have, but I don't think the posts here about such color "changes" were meant as jokes.
I have the status bar enabled. I've just stated what I feel is more functional and intuitive to me. To each his own I guess.
I remember playing with Red Hat Linux and being absolutely blown away when I was able to do a KERNAL UPDATE without having to reboot! Fanboyz on here are the first to laugh at Windows users having to always restart for updates yet perversely are able to justify it when OS X forces them to. Sad really.
Well, an actual kernel change still requires a reboot, even on Linux. The updater doesn't make you do it immediately, but the new kernel won't be used until after you restart.I remember playing with Red Hat Linux and being absolutely blown away when I was able to do a KERNAL UPDATE without having to reboot!

I have, however, been able to update other low-level components (like SCSI device drivers for non-boot devices, video drivers, the shared C library, etc.) without rebooting, or even logging off (although sometimes, I need to restart X11.)
And I agree with you that this is one area where all modern UNIX systems have a clear advantage over the rest of the world, including Mac OS and Windows.
On the other hand, doing things in the Linux way does require some discipline on the part of the operator. For instance, if a low-level shared library is replaced, it won't affect running applications - any app that is running at the time of the upgrade will have to be restarted in order to start using the new library. For a mainstream OS, you really can't trust customers to do this wherever necessary - forcing them to reboot avoids the problem.
Agreed. OS vendors need to be a bit conservative when doing OS upgrade. How often do we receive OS updates? Not much.
Trust me: IT'S A JOKE!I have, but I don't think the posts here about such color "changes" were meant as jokes.
rdowns started with the "color thing/changes" in post 6 (most likely) as a response to the previous posts about a "visual change" there's really no such thing! It's a joke! But by all means, feel free to insist that there is although it can't be that hard for you to examine & discover the truth about this yourself
I still say it's peach though!
