Those icons are a bad sign.

You better get used to it, because it's a total inevitability that OS X is eventually going to get the same simple flat design as iOS 7. Its a question of when, not if. If not in 10.10, in 10.11.

I don't think so. Change yes, but not ios7 design.
 
Did Mavericks fix the horrible design of the dropdown, whenever you write something in the location field in Safari? For some reason they thought that mixing bookmarks and history was a good thing, and even worse, putting random search results *above*. No, I don't want to know what Google thinks my brain is trying to figure out, and no, I don't do random searches more than going to sites I normally visit.
 
Shutdown Screen

Am I the only one getting a different shutdown screen. When I shutdown my screen isn't grey, but its clear (I can still see the wallpaper and dock while it's shutting down) and the spinning wheel pops up for a few seconds and then the mac goes off.

Is it just me, or should they incorporate a little more of the flat design of iOS 7 into 10.9? like messages?
 
Oh no! Did those jerks remove the option in settings to turn off the pop volume alert?
 
Apple can do whatever they want with the icons as far as I'm concerned, so long as I can still open the package contents and change them.
 
Anyone notice this behaviour on the desktop:

When you create a folder or delete a file/folder from the desktop, it doesn't appear or delete right away? There's a small delay when the icon appears or disappears.

I noticed that screenshots are taking a while to appear on the desktop now. It would take more than 4 seconds while it was less than 1 before in ML.
 
Does anyone know if you can get the old "color-the-whole-folder/file-name" in Finder?

I think the little colored circle is too small to be effective.
 
Not sure if it's been mentioned here, but looks like upgrading to Mavericks moved all the applications I had in my Documents folder to a folder named Applications in my home folder.

Noticed this when I downloaded coconutBattery and tried to move the app to my Application folder that used to be sitting inside my Documents folder and saw that the folder wasn't there anymore, for a moment there I thought the upgrade went wrong.
 
When playing a video in QuickTime Player on Mavericks, you can click on the FF or RW buttons and have it play forward or backwards at 2x, 4x, 8x, 16x, or 32x speeds.

(In Mountain Lion it was only 2x, 4x or 8x.)
