In the bookmarks menu, grab the slider and pull it down -- IOW create the cover flow area.
The last time - before this more recent testing, that is - that I opened the bookmarks menu to organize them (I don't do it often), I don't recall any slider being there, or anything indicating there could be something to pull down. At some point since, the cover flow area had just appeared there, no need to pull down.
Top Sites pays attention to the preference settings. If you have it set to open top sites when you create a new window or tab, it will do so.
I didn't touch the preferences. I was surprised to see Top Sites there at all. It hadn't always been. I can only surmise that the last Safari update put it there, and that Top Sites falls under the heading of the Cover Flow framework, and that Safari subsequently recognized the installation of a Core Image-supporting graphics card, resulting in the sudden appearance of (default) prefs and an interface I hadn't seen before and didn't expect. Lotta guessing.
heh. yea, lemme know when you think of [a use for Top Sites]. I see Top Sites and the bookmark cover flow as being bs featuritis / eye candy that serves no function other than to slow your work flow. There must be a dozen features that Apple *could* have taken that time to implement. You know, things like simple bookmark sorting, etc.
I have to agree. There must be something it's good for, though. I'm thinking along the lines of... hmmm... maybe doing something with documents/files to have a sorta-kinda Tiger version of Leopard's Cover Flow Finder by way of Safari. Just a vague thought.
