Safari Window Shadow

I recently got a program called WallPaper Wizard. It change my desktop picture to literally thousands of different backgrounds. Some of the backgrounds are white with a single picture in the center. That is when I noticed something about my Safari window, it has lost it's shadow! All the rest of my windows have shadows and I can clearly see the edge on the white background of those desktops. But my Safari window does not have the shadow which makes somethings at the edge problematic.
I checked Safari Preferences, System Preferences, and Secrets to see if any deal with the window shadow. I could not find anything.
Is this the same for everyone? Or can someone help me get the Shadow back on Safri??

Does it do the same thing if you remove WallPaper Wizard and just select a white background?

Window Shadows are STRONG

Is it me, or are the shadows that windows create when moved over another window stronger (wider) than in Tiger? I had a blank/white screen in Safari, then moved my finder window over the top, and the shadow look like some out of control aura or halo. It was very strong. Is there a way to tone down the window shadows?

If the machine is less than 90 days old or you have already purchased AppleCare then call AppleCare immediately. If it's not covered by AppleCare make an appointment at your local Apple Store or AASP. Things you can try are:
1. Resart in Safe Mode
2. Do a SMC and PRAM reset,
3. Run Apple Hardware Test in Extended Mode. If no error codes appear the first time, run it 2-3x. This will take some time, possibly up to 40-60 minutes on each pass.
SMC RESET
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
Release the power button.
Attach the computers power cable.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
PRAM RESET
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

Safari window will disappear if dragged from a tab to an external display

Try opening a Safari window and add a new tab, then drag that new tab to the external display (e.g. Desktop 3) as a new window, it will disappear when you release the drag-and-drop. I think this is a bug of Safari 7.0 on Mavericks 10.9.

Two steps work-around:
1) Drag the tab out to the same display.
2) Then drag it again to another display.
Of course it's a bug. Please report it to http://www.apple.com/feedback/safari.html.

How do you have 2 Safari windows open and show both pages simultaneously on the monitor

How do you keep open 2 Safari windows and show both pages on monitor?

While in Safari with your first window open go to the File menu and select New Window. That will open the second window on which you can navigate to your second web page. Resize both windows to fit on your display.

How to have new Safari windows open in full screen?

Hello,
I am wondering if it is possible to have new Safari windows take up the full screen. For example, if I click on a link that opens a new window, I would like that new window to take on the fully maximized setting of the window it came from. So even if the website code says the window has to be 50% screen real estate, I would like to be 100% every time automatically.
Thanks.

Welcome to the forums!
Yet another great thing that Glims can do!
If you want to fix your Google search to a specific Google location, I recommend that you download and install the free plug-in Glims:
http://www.machangout.com/
which not only does that but much more equally useful stuff! (Such as automatically deleting Flash cookies, enabling Safari to run full-screen, and more.)
(It adds items to Safari Preferences).
Not only does it already list a number of search engines and regions, but you can also add any other search engine not already listed in Glims by using the method described here:
http://www.machangout.com/tutorials/addsearchengine
Just enter the name you give the search engine in the name field, and the URL for it in the Query URL field.
When you have it, the setting is in Glims Preferences/General

How to stop Acrobat trying to open PDFs in a Safari window?

I have CS3 and when I try to look at a page with a PDF in Safari, it want to start to load I assume a acrobat reader in the safari window.
Before I had CS3 it of course it just used preview in the Safari window.
I have tried to search for a PDF plug in Safari, and I cant find one on the drive. But if you check plugins in Safari from the help menu it does say using Acrobat.
What do I need to remove to stop it?

Hi
If it's greyed out, either the plug-in is missing, the preference file is possibly corrupt, or this is another example of how Adobe expresses its version of "creativity" on the Mac platform.
Tongue-in-cheek aside, I don't have CS3, so I can only speculate here. Other than the possible missing plug-in, or preference file corruption, I wonder if installing Adobe Reader frees up the greyed area via Reader's preference file?

AppleScript: How to reload a Safari window without bring the window to the foreground while I am on other Desktop space

I want to write an AppleScript to achive a simple task. That is, I open a Safari window on Desktop 1 and automatically reload every 30 minutes while I do my dialy work on desktop 2.
Here is my script:
tell application "Safari"
    activate
    tell application "System Events"
        tell process "Safari"
            keystroke "r" using {command down}
        end tell
    end tell
end tell
This script works. However, whenever the script is executed, my current Desktop 2 will be brought back to Desktop 1. It is distracting to my workflow.
Is there any way to just let Safari to reload in the background without bring Safari window to foreground on Desktop 1?
I have done a coumple of researches; many of them say I should not use "activate" in my script. I tried that but then the script will just do nothing.

Hi, Hiroto
your approach works perfectly fine. Thank you.
I just found there is also a more generic approach without tweaking of javascript or any third party scripting language involed:
#!/usr/bin/osascript
tell application "Safari"
    set docUrl to URL of document 1
    set URL of document 1 to docUrl
end tell
From there, I can do a simple cron job task now.

Safari window not resizing

I am running Safari 5.1.9 on OS X 10.6.8. For the last few days, Safari windows always open at exactly the same size, and there is nothing I can do to resize them.
The resize button in the bottom right corner doesn't respond. The green maximise button on the top left doesn't do anything.
I have tried:
* restarting
* forcing Safari to open links in a new window
* emptying Safari's cache
* resetting Safari
* trashing Safari's preferences
* turning off all plugins
* trashing com.apple.windowserver.plist
* starting Safari in 32-bit mode
* beating my head slowly against the screen
This seems to be a problem only with one user. When I switch to another user, Safari behaves itself very well.
My system software is up to date.
Any ideas?

Try deleting the cache this way. Might make a difference.
In the effected account, open a Finder window. From the menu bar top of your screen click Go > Go to Folder
Type of copy paste the following:
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari and try resizing the window.

How to run a safari window in the background at all times?

Ok, so you are probably wondering why I want to do this. Allow me to explain. The website twitch.tv is a streaming service for gamers, and there is a browser plugin specifically for the site called betterttv.
One feature of this plugin is that you will get a notification whenever someone you are following starts broadcasting, right in your notification center. But because its a browser plugin, and is specifically for this one website, it requires a safari window to be open with the website twitch.tv in order to push the notifications.
So my question is... how can I make a browser window stay open at all times and run in the background with this website open so that I get my notifications? I had the idea that I could retain the window even when I "quit" safari, because I can run a seperate instance of it in the form of Webkit Nightly which isnt affected by safari not being running.
But I am still oblivious as to how I would set up a window like this, and it has to start at login in addition to being running throughout the day. (I shut my Mac off at night.) Any amount of help would be appricated

I'm well aware of how to minimize thanks, and it *is* possible to have a Safari window open if you quit it, because you can run it as a separate instance by using WebKit Nightly...
I am just looking for the best way to set it up so that a WebKit Nightly window will open upon startup, navigate to that webpage, and hide itself. Preferably in the background. This could be done using a .command file or a startup script in automator. My question is.. What is the best direction to take?

How do I stop international language from appearing in some Safari windows?

After selecting Polytonic Greek as one of the languages for use in composing text (MS Word), I found that Greek appeared as the default language in certain Safari windows, typically those (like a university email account I use) that are configurable for people of many nationalities. It's maybe worth noting that when Greek appeared in my Mac's language menu, it appeared above US English, unlike the other languages I use.
None of the following have fixed the problem:
--Deselecting Greek and restarting/shutting down (multiple times)
--Clearing the cache and history in Safari (multiple times)
--Running Disk Warrior and Drive Genius, my standard system maintenance software
How can I get rid of this now unwelcome language?

I found Greek at the top of the language list, above English. I think that made it the default language in certain circumstances.
Yes, having Greek at the top of that list does several things: Any app which has a Greek version will open with its menus and dialogues in that language. If you have installed a Greek spell checker, that will become the default in all Apple apps. And Safari will ask for the Greek version of any web site that offers that as an option. On the list, Greek appears as Ελληνικά.

How can I jump from Safari window to Safari window?

Hey all,
How does one jump from one Safari window to another? While Im at it, also from Tab to Tab?
On Window to Window in WinXP, I would use Command/Tab. However, in OSX, if I Command/Tab, then I get a different program list other then available, open Safari windows.
When in a single Safari window and have multiple tabs, to go from Tab to Tab, in Windows, you use Control/Tab. But in OSX, this does not work. I have tried variations to see if I could figure it out, but have been unsuccessful. Many thanks for any help and input.

Command + ` is a system-wide function to toggle between open windows within any running app. Works for everything.
In Safari 4 and 5, ShiftCommand (right or left) arrow moves tabs for me. I noticed that in Apple Discussions, should I have a "reply box" open, this copmmand will go to the that tab and stay there, highlighting text. Otherwise the combo wrks fine.

How do I Open Multiple Safari Windows on iPad 2?

How do I open multiple windows?

Tho old view of several thumbnails has been replaced by tabs. There is no way to view the thumbnails in Safari under iOS 5. Try looking at some alternate browsers in the app store to see if any of those might suit your wants a little better.

Can I open two Safari windows at the same time?

Can I open two Safari windows at the same time and split the windows in two on my screen? Right now, I have to open Safari and Firefox to get the split screen. I know I can press command to get multiple tabs, but that's not what I want. I want to use Safari on two open windows.

HI,

Press command and ~ or ` to toggle between the windows.

TS3274 I have multiple safari windows open, how do I close them 1 at a time?

Does anyone no how to accomplish closing safarie window 1 at a time or even all at once?

If you have iOS 5+ with the tabbed browsing then you can close the 'active' tab by tapping the 'x' on the left of the tab (you can't close the last tab).
If you have iOS 4 or below then tap the icon of the two squares to open the thumbnail/page view and you can close them from there

How many Safari windows can I open at one time?

I have an old habit of keeping lots of Safari windows open at one time, instead of closing them as I go. I'm using a G4 iBook with 768 of RAM over an Airport wireless system. I have at least 40 gigs of open space on my HD and recently repaired permissions and emptied cache and history, but it takes FOREVER for new pages to load. I've enabled the interference filter, which seemed to help for a day or so, but I'm back to beach ball ****. Meanwhile, my spouse is using a TiBook 667 with Airport card on the same Airport base station, and has none of the delays I do.
Does having a couple dozen Safari windows open at one time slow the whole program down? If not, anyone have any other ideas?

iTunes will only open one library at a time.
Regards.
