Really? To me it looks very Cocoa inspired- it looks like they're moving lots of the elements of their OS X theme over to Windows.

- johns 17y agoI can see both actually. The dual icons in the top right started with Chrome, and then showed up in Safari. It's much better than the original poorly-implemented IE 7/8 top right icon bar. In the second shot there are two icons that use stars, and neither is immediately apparent what they are. I'm assuming its for bookmarks, but they're both too far from the URL. I don't know why they're using separate buttons for Stop/Refresh either. Safari ditched the two buttons a long time ago, IE 8 has them (again poorly implemented) and Chrome has a single button. Two buttons may help learnability, but not day-to-day usability. Lastly, too many dropshadows.
- roryokane 17y agoSeparate Stop and Refresh buttons prevent the mistake of clicking Stop right at the moment a page finished loading, causing it to refresh instead. This can be a problem if you clicked stop because the page was loading too slow so you just wanted to look at what had already downloaded, but you end up discarding all of that progress to redownload the page.
- imd 17y agoYou could make the button unclickable for a quarter-second after the page stops loading.
- ErrantX 17y agoI was thinking mostly about the Page drop down - but now you mention it I can see Cocoa too.
