Safari 8.0 Title Bar missing?

I just updated to Yosemite 10.10.1 and got Safari 8.0 in the bargain.
It's working fine, except there are no title bars on the top of the page. At the very top, I have the RYG traffic light, and next to it my buttons and the search field, but the title bar, which should be above that and display the page title, is missing. There doesn't seem to be a preference or option for this. Am I missing something?
I can't believe Apple did away with something so useful (although their "improvements" aren't always an improvement), so I'm assuming there's something wrong and it's not just a new "feature"
Thanks for any replies.

There are several things about the appearance of yosemite that I don't like, and I just started using it. Mainly the title bars of most applications are so blandly indistinguishable, when I want to click on a title bar and move a window, I often click on the wrong thing, often popping a different window to the top that I don't want...
Now when in Safari, I don't know where I am in within a site unless I click on the url box… Maybe there is a preference setting, so much to figure out.
As for your complaint, I think it is that you cannot see the complete descriptive title of the web page when several tabs are open. If you just place the mouse curser on the tab, and leave it there for a second or two (be patient!), the complete title appears in a pop up display box. If you move to another tab after that, usually the display box comes up without the 1-2 second delay. Usually, but not always. Usually, but not always? I'm still figuring some of this out. If you move on top the "x" close box, it eventually pops up an entirely different message, and sometimes when you get that, then it doesn't pop up the title even if you move off the box, you have to move completely off that tab and then back on again.
I've always hated the close box within the tab : When using tabs, if you want to view the web page that has a tab, then click on tab, EXCEPT don't click anywhere on the left part of the tab otherwise you might click on the previously invisible close box which then does the opposite of what you want, it closes the tab! It is a bit better in Firefox, but still bad design.
The descriptive title pop up thing worked in the old safari, at least in 6.2, also.
When only one tab is open, I'm not sure how to see the descriptive title at all, except go to the top menu bar and click on window, and look at what has the check mark? Time to experiment with preferences.     Grrr.

  • Mac OS 10.7.2, Apple Title Bars are there, Other Window Title bars missing.

    I just purchased a new iMac yesterday. I have been downloading WoW with the Blizzard Launcher, I can see the Apple Title Bar on the Launcher Window (3 little circles and white bar). However I can't see the Blizzard Menu Bar, is there a way to recover this bar? I need it to turn off P2P and that is the only way. Thanks for the help!

    I understand that, yet this is a Mac problem not a third party problem as it has happened to 3 different things. All of the software I have downloaded comes from very reputable companies from which thousands of people have used. I am not sure if you know but BLIZZARD aka WORLD OF WARCRAFT, has Millions of downloaders. So please if someone is asking for help, try to be civilized and give an informative answer, otherwise please don't post as you have just wasted my time and anyone else that could possibly have the same issue. And certainly don't rule out that the problem isn't OS X.
    Has anyone else had the issue where the menu bar is missing icons/tabs? If you could provide some info as I am very new to Apple products (less than 24 hours of being an owner). Thanks again for any constructive feedback.

  • CS4 menu and title bars missing

    Hello,
    I have just upgraded to CS4 and am attempting to get acquainted with the new workspace options.  Is there a way to maximize a floating window in Standard Screen Mode without losing the menu and title bars?  I figured out how to drag images to CS4 and have them open as floating windows instead of tabs.  However, when I maximize one of the images/floating windows, the menu and title bars are left out and are not visible.  I would like to set the menu and title bars  so that all images appear beneath them whether they or maximized or minimized.
    Regards,
    Scott

  • Windows Title Bar Appearing on Safari

    Subject pretty much explains the entire problem.
    I run Windows XP, though I've been using Safari as my browser since it first came out (I love its look and functionality). However, recently, the Safari title bar was replaced by the Windows XP-themed title bar, and I can't find any way to change it back.
    I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling Safari, asking on other computer-savvy people forums, etc.
    Here is a link to a picture, to better illustrate the issue:
    http://img709.imageshack.us/img709/8867/qqstupidwindowsbar.jpg
    (Apologies that it's rather small, I had to resize it to post elsewhere.
    As you can see, I have Safari, but the title bar is that of Windows XP.

    That's normal for Safari 4.x and above on Windows systems, I'm afraid. On the "new features" page for the Safari 4.x versions, I seem to recall that one of the things they were trumpeting was the consistency of the look and feel of the new Safari 4.x versions with other Windows applications. (So it's not a bug, it's a feature.)
    I'm not aware of any "skinning" plug-ins for Safari for Windows that give you a Mac look-and-feel, but that might just be a failing on my part. If anyone else knows of one, please point J in that direction.

  • Missing feature in Finder window's Title Bar-

    Hi there!
    I don't know if this has already been posted; I've tried to make a search but it's a real pain.
    I have upgraded my Macpro to Snow Leopard since a couple of months now, but I still miss an important feature that I used quiet A LOT in Leopard.
    We all know if we have a window opened with Toolbar on in the Finder and ctrl-click (or cmd-click or RMB-click) on its Title Bar it drops down a menu showing all it's parent folders.
    If you click on one of those, its content gets displayed in the already opened window.
    Ok. Nice (well.. not that much).
    In Leopard (not Snow) we had the option to cmd-click on one of the parent folders displayed in that menu and have it opened in a NEW window, with its original dimensions fitting its whole content.
    (THAT was "nice")!
    Now, in Snow Leopard, this feature seems to be gone.
    Ok... we have a brand new "Path bar" which behaves the same.
    But it's ugly, occupies room in the window and... Oh well; I want that Leopard behavior back! :-)p
    Does anyone know how can I have it back (aside from downgrading)?
    What makes me think it's still possible to have it back, it's the fact that if I double-click a folder in a window, I can get it opened in a new window with that same behavior. And that if I ctrl-click (or cmd-click or RMB-click) on Safari's Window Title and then cmd-click on one of the items showing in the menu (which are parents folders of a site) I get the very same behavior I had in Leopard: it opens the parent folder in a NEW window (or tab, depending on your settings).
    So, I'm guessing is something to change in the Finder preferences, but I just can't figure out where.
    TIA!
    (What I wrote is always referred to windows with Toolbar visible; I know without Toolbar every folder opens in a new window, even the ones from the popup).

    Hi, Don Archibald and thanks for your answer.
    In the first part of my post I already said I was aware that "ctrl-click (or cmd-click or RMB-click)" would make the hierarchical dropmenu appear, both in SL and Leopard.
    What differs is while in Leopard you could cmd-click on an item of the dropmenu and have it open in a new window, in SL it opens in the same window, no matter if you press cmd or not when clicking.
    As for the "Always open folders in a new window", as it clearly states, that would make every folder (even "regular" ones - the ones not listed in the dropmenu) open in a new window, which is absolutely not what I want.
    I want to be able to choose on the fly if a parent folder from the dropmenu, or a "regular" folder, should open in its own window or in the window I'm already in.
    Just like I did under Leopard.
    Thanks again for your interesting, anyways ;-)

  • AOL TITLE BAR is missing

    I have read some of the other questions and answers but I am not sure if this is a problem with so-called add-ons or not.
    I no longer have a title bar at the top of the page when I open my browser in Safari. There is a brownish colored bar that has the three red yellow green buttons, apple, amazon, news and ebay. I have no arrow to go back a page, no window to type addresses, no google window. I have tried reloading several days now with no luck. I went into preferences and threw away all the cookies in there.
    What are these darned add-ons and where did they come from?
    A few days ago I noticed that when I clicked onto Safari, the top window would open with something that said www.myscreenname, com etc. I immediately figured that someone was trying to get my personal info so I logged onto Safari by typing in www.aol.com. This worked for two days but now as I said I no longer get the functioning window.
    I have aol on my firefox browser and it is working perfectly, but I use Safari more frequently and I must be able to access my files, etc.
    I appreciate any help you can give me. Thanks

    Hi:
    I checked software update and I do have v10.4.11 now. I will change my profile now.
    I followed the instructions for third party add-ons and this is what happened:
    On Library in HD I found only an internet plug-in. None of the other three topics were in the HD folder. I pulled out the internet plug in from the HD folder and put it on the desktop.
    Then I closed Safari and reopened it without the internet plug in. Still not title bar.
    I then went to Go and opened my Home folder. Only the internet plug-in is in that folder also. When I tried to pull it out and place it on the desktop I got a window that said that a newer version of the internet plug-in was already in that location and asked if I wanted to replace it with the older internet plug in from the Home folder. I decided to leave it there until I talked with someone from this discussion board again.
    Right now I have the internet plug in from the HD folder on my desktop and no further action. Thanks for your time.

  • Safari title bar has two different colors

    Ever since installing Mountain Lion, Safari's title bar is two different colors: behind the title of the page, and the bookmark bar are both dark grey:
    I deleted .plists and whatnot, and that didn't work.  Also, I created a new user profile, and the colors are correct.  Help!

    After doing some digging, I found this:

    Also, I enabled the debug menu in Safari and clicked "Use Buffered Windows," and this is the result:
    Compared to my girlfriend's computer (brand-spankin' new, right out of the box), this still isn't 100% correct, but it is close.
    Also, I checked console (after I unchecked "Use Buffered Windows"), and it says "Invalid unbuffered shadow parameters."  Does anyone know what that means or how to fix it?

  • Title Bar Modern Apps Missing

    For some reason the Title Bar disappeared when I moved my mouse on top of screen. Instead of the Title Bar shows up the mouse turns into a hand. When I Un-install the KB 9219355 update I was able to bring down the Modern App to close it, but I never get
    back the Title Bar - that have the minimize and the X close button.

    Hi,
    In fact,  after you install KB9219355, the Windows store app is like this:
    The Minimize button, Close button, and taskbar are more available with your mouse.
    This is normal behavior and the feature included in this Windows Update.
    According to your description, it seems that you didn't install this update successfully.
    Please check its status in View installed updates.
    If it failed, please reinstall it for test.

  • Why do I have two title bars - one with the title of the page I'm looking at and another with the new orange drop down menu? Plus I can't get FF4 to save my tabs, even when I go to about:config, why is that?

    I downloaded FF4, thinking that it would merely update from my previous installation, but all my tabs were gone. FF looks really weird - here is a link to a picture of it: http://tinypic.com/r/2mwdus4/7 - I have two title bars, my bookmarks toolbar is missing and the tabs are on the bottom. If I go to view => toolbars and click one of them, suddenly the second title bar (with the orange menu) disappers and my bookmarks toolbar comes back (even if I don't click on it in "view"). I can't get the browser to remember my tabs between sessions even though I set it to remember them in my settings. I even changed the browser.showQuitWarning to true in about:config, but it didn't work. What is going on?

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

  • Losing Title Bar when changing Look and Feel on the fly

    Hello,
    I have an option in my Swing app for the user to change the Look & Feel on the fly by selecting from a radio button list. The look and feel is changed when the user make the selection, however the Windows Title Bar disappears. Any ideas what I'm missing?
    private void setLook(String mode)
    String lookAndFeelClassName = null;
    UIManager.LookAndFeelInfo looks[] = UIManager.getInstalledLookAndFeels();
    for (int i = 0; i < looks.length; i++)
    if (mode.equalsIgnoreCase(looks.getName()))
    lookAndFeelClassName = looks[i].getClassName();
    break;
    try
    m_view.dispose();
    UIManager.setLookAndFeel(lookAndFeelClassName);
    SwingUtilities.updateComponentTreeUI(m_view);
    m_view.setVisible(true);
    catch (Exception e)
    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(m_view, "Can't change look and feel:" + lookAndFeelClassName, "Invalid PLAF", JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);

    You are disposing the view. My guess is that this is your problem. Try creating a new one instead of just showing the old disposed one
