Tired of that blue bar loading progress in Safari? Have Safari 3 Beta? Come in!

Hey everyone. Do you want a pie-chart loading thing instead of the blue bar? Well, just go into Terminal (Spotlight > Terminal) and type in:
defaults write com.apple.Safari DebugUsePieProgressIndicator -bool true

And then press return. Quit Terminal. And quit Safari 3 Beta if you're in it. When you reopen the program the loading thing should not be the blue bar of progress anymore, but rather a pie chart that fills in as the page loads.

There you go, in case you want to see before using it.

I got this news from RobotSpacer on ign.com's forums, just want everyone to know that this is not my discovery.

Nice find, looks better than the blue bar at least.

I like the blue bar...I even got a FF extension when I used it to be as similar as possible...

how do i go back to normal?? i think this pie chart has really really slowed down safari 3
EDIT: I just changed true to false and Safari is faster again

Agreed! I really like the integrated progess bar. Now, if only Camino had it too.....
