    Please optionally bring back the old metallic theme and lovely blue progress bar in Safari 4.

    The Application Safari 4 is not worked on by this team, this is the HTML rendering engine aka WebKit team.

    Sadly, thp, I agree that Safari 4 goes in the wrong direction in many ways.

    Sorry this is totally off topic, but comments on the post about the Web Inspector are closed – I waited too long!

    Let me first say that the new Inspector is awesome – I’m actually using Safari 4 as a development environment now.

    I spend most of my life doing front end web development (HTML/CSS) and there are a few things in this arena that I’d like to request.

    1) I’m constantly adjusting CSS attribute values on the fly and it would be great if I could modify them with a single click instead of a double.

    2) HEX colors would be preferable to RGB

    3) Being able to add new attributes on the fly

    This is off topic, but I don’t see anywhere for suggestions, so here goes.
    My question has to do with Safari’s (WebKit’s) caching scheme. It’s maddening to me that every time I hit the “back” button on the browser, it insists on reloading the entire page, seemingly from scratch. When it does this, I wonder what the point of a cache is. The behavior should be that any previously loaded and cached pages should ‘instantly’ appear. I don’t want to see a re load, I’ve already been there. Just throw it up again instantaneously. Doesn’t seem to matter what machine I’m on, super super fast, or old and slow. Safari insists on going back out to the net to fetch the page. Grrrrrr.
