Return of the Lozenge

Remember http://trelane.hates-software.com/2004/04/23/a13b7744.html ?

Remember when I said the lozenge was a bad idea.  I found something worse:
Not having one.

Having been forced into accepting the worst GUI design in the world, I've
at least learnt the convention and can actually deal with it.  Which is
why I was so surprised to find that when I recently started to use Safari
- one of Apple's own applications, nay not a little app but a flagship
application that ships with the OS itself - that it doesn't have a
lozenge.  Oh no, you now turn the toolbars and off from the menubar.

Hello?  Nice standard Apple.

So I was wrong, there is something worse that bad GUI design.  It's
inconstant GUI design.

Bah.
