Product Description:

I have to set up quite a few Macs, and as I got tired of always using the terminal to change the hidden preferences of Safari 4 I wrote a quick app in REALbasic to make life easier for me. As others might find it useful too I'm now putting it out into the wild - but please be aware that you are using it at your own risk. The app is doing the same thing that the terminal commands are doing so nothing should go haywire.

As you might have read the success of Safari 4 Modifier caught me by surprise - over 3000 downloads in the first 16 hours via versiontracker alone! As a result I exceeded my ISPs download quota (actually it is my parent's ISP) before I could move the files to a new download server and am now looking at an unexpected bill. So if you find it useful I'd appreciate a small donation to contribute to paying for the bill. Link is on my website.

What's new in this version:

  • If you use the Toolbar Redesign then you automatically use the New Load Progress Style as they are linked. To make this clearer checking "Toolbar Redesign" will now disable "Use New Load Progress Style"
  • reworked some of the help tags

  • Mac OS X 10.5 Intel

Apple seems to have changed Safari 4 so that the changes are no longer set via Prefs but are build-in. Nothing I can do about that until someone figures out a way to modify Safari 4.

Nice little app but a work in progress. Tweaks is integrated in the Safari menu bar and doesn't require updating.

Safari 4 Modifier ReviewYou hosed your own computer, not this app - Version: 0.3.2, 4/30/2009 11:13AM PST

This simple lil app works fine. Probably just runs the commands for you instead of doing the same thing with terminal. Bust if your computer runs so crappy that you think it locked you down then you dont need to be messing with Safari preferences in the first place. You need to get some of the third party games and other non essential crap off that has hosed your computer. This lil app sure didnt hose it
