Top Sites is sortof / seems to be related to Cover Flow. The setting in the Bookmarks tab of Safari's preferences removes the Top Sites icon from the bookmarks bar and seems to mostly turn off the function. Then, in the regular Bookmarks window, there's the Cover Flow stuff at the top. If you don't see it, then either your CPU is too slow (so Safari supressed it) or you've already moved the slider all the way up and it disappeared. To get it back (yuk lol), move your mouse cursor into the black area to the left of the Search box in that bookmarks window. When the cursor turns into a hand, mouse down then drag about 3/4 of the way down the window - the cover flow stuff should reappear, and the background task that generates the previews will start up.
I've never even heard of Cover Flow before. But OK, here's what I see on a newly opened Reset Safari/Quit and Restart Safari/Bookmarks/Show All Bookmarks page:
The top half of the page is all black (there's a sidebar on the left). Is the black supposed to be the Bookmarks Window? Oh no that's right, the bottom half (white/normal) is... oh yeah, NOW I remember! being bummed a couple weeks after upgrading from Safari 3 to 4 when I tried to organize my bookmarks; it went from nice and simple to frickin confusing! Anyway, the black on top, white on bottom is also what I saw what, half an hour ago or so? But OK, right now, I don't see anything that says "Cover Flow" or looks like a process (would that look like something you'd see in Activity Monitor or iStat?) This is hard when I don't even know what to look for! LOL OK....
Pushing the black all the way up with the little hand gets me....more white, less black -- kind of like a black strip across the top of the page, and I can't get the black to drag back down (I lost the hand). Not only that, I still don't see anything at all that says "Cover Flow" or anything that I can see as looking like a "process." In addition, resetting Safari, shutting it down for 10 seconds and reopening it, whatever this smaller black space thing is, I still have it -- it didn't come back as the top half black, bottom half white I originally saw.
And....."Show Top Sites" STILL works and has Top Sites to show. :-( :::::sigh:::::
