When it gives you the drop down 60 seccond timeout, you can see in the tab a little yellow exclamation point picture.

and btw - i hit 200 posts!!!!
 
Is there anything else different/new in v1 besides this and the fonts changes? I haven't really noticed anything (the things that really bugged me - not being able to set "exclusions" from the popup blocker, and the silly zoom feature, are still there)

I upgraded from v80, and one new feature that I noticed is that whenever I configure my router now, in the status bar at the bottom it will say something like " ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| 20% done" with the vertical bars acting like a progress bar representing how close the router is to finishing saving my settings... I had noticed that in IE, but it's a new feature in Safari.
 
oh and also it doesnt automatically select the tab after a 60 second timeout which pissed the **** out of you
 
Does it still display form buttons as Aqua elements? That was unusual (way back in the only version I've used, 51), but what was annoying was the way that the buttons were mislabeled. I couldn't even check my email properly!
 
They are aqua-like buttons, if that's what you mean, but so they are in most OSX browsers. They are a little smaller than the aqua buttons used in the OS though.

I think you misunderstood. This is referring to the buttons within HTML pages, and not the browser UI itself.

The HTML buttons in Safari's clearly are rendered as Aqua-like buttons while other browsers do not do this.

Here is a screen grab of Safari, IE, and Mozilla Firebird:

From a Web development point of view this can be a bit of a pain if the sized are very different, or if they behave differently when CSS changes the text sizes. If these behave correctly then it's cool. If not, then it is just one more browser quire to pay attention to...
 
If I'm not mistaken the aqua html buttons is a Cocoa thing. Check them out in OmniWeb and Camino to see what I mean.

Everyone has probably already noticed this, but the "Check Spelling As You Type" item stays checked always now. :D
 
One thing I noticed is that as soon as I changed to 1.0, v85, I have been getting a lot of these little blue square question-marks all over the place (in the place of some images). I'll attach a picture of what one looks like, incase anyone knows how to get rid of them.

Also, they didn't implement a queue in the download manager, which i was hoping they would :(

well, the menubar items in safari do, but not the web buttons on websites.

and - tkdragon - i believe everyone is getting those.
 
TommyWillB,

I've been using Safari since the first beta was released. At first, there were a lot of quirks. Some links wouldn't work at all.

With later builds, the quirks disappeared. The Aqua buttons work fine.

These, I believe, are the new form of "broken image" icon that display if an image can't be downloaded (it doesn't exist, for example), is corrupt, never finishes after a timeout, etc.

I've noticed them show up occasionallywhen hitting sites that are particularly slow, overloaded, etc. I'm used to seeing occasional "broken image" icons with other browsers on these same sites, so I hadn't given it much thought.

They're also a lot smaller than other browser's broken images.

If you want to stop getting them, replace /System/Library/Frameworks/WebKit.framework/Resources/missing_image.tiff with an "invisible" tiff image.

The missing_image.tiff is 16x16, case anyone wants to know.
