I noticed by accident this morning that if you click on the line separating the Safari address bar and the bookmarks bar, the little bookmarks icon on the left (of the bookmarks bar) glows blue. This observation, and subsequent posting of said observation, has helped xi to avoid Monday morning work for approx. 5 minutes.

Best Regards,
xi

It only works if you have keyboard navigation on.

I noticed that if you control click on the Safari icon in the Dock, and look at the list of windows present, their icons are not right; the window icons in the contextual menu are for an aqua application, yet Safari uses brushed feces. If I were a noob, I would be wondering why my windows looked differently in the menu and in the app.

Just wasting time

Is this a variation on the term, "polished turd"?

Some people avoid work by playing with Safari...others, like myself, avoid work by not going on Monday's....

Interesting.

Yep, and then if you hit tab, you can tab between all your bookmarks in there. Or shift-tab to go backwards and start highlighting the Google Search bar, address bar, and other buttons.
