For the most part, Cover Flow - or at least its ubiquitous use, in things like Finder, is a "named" Leopard feature, yes. But the framework that drives it is available in Tiger. Not sure it was delivered as part of the .11 update or if it's bundled as one the many frameworks that comes with Safari 4.x - probably the latter.
Thanks, Dan.
So, I looked around for an obvious sign of Cover Flow in Safari 4.1.3 (4533.19.4), not there. Clicked on the "?" and searched "Cover Flow." Well well well. And from the Help Viewer:
NOTE: Cover Flow does not appear on older computers with graphics cards that don’t support Cover Flow
Aha! It was only recently that I - several times over, as it were - installed a video card of more recent vintage. Maybe this also accounts for how I could have used Tiger 10.4.11 since there was one and been ignorant of Top Sites until it popped up "accidentally" a month or so ago. And then - stock video card back in - it never came back. When this thread began, I was prepared to chime in with how my Safari/Tiger, the same as Yersinia's, didn't bother me with Top Sites at all and how strange that was. I tested again first, and Top Sites was back, appearing no matter how I opened a new tab (one theory shot down) and all over Safari's preferences! What?? All because of the new Radeon, as it turns out. Or?
It was easy for me to get rid of Top Sites, however. Worked fine, just had no immediate use for it. Maybe I'll think of one.
