macOS 10.14 Mojave: All The Little Things

Is it now possible in macOS Mojave to middle-click Finder tabs to close them like you can in Safari?
During the keynote Craig threw up a slide with a bunch of features they didn't mention. One was "UI language parity" - simply what is that/what does it mean? I'm a developer and I'm not sure. Perhaps just design tweaks/more consistency? Only one on the slide I didn't really understand. Thanks in advance!
Pretty sure it’s just consistency. I use Australian English, for example, and now instead of Trash it’s labeled Bin.During the keynote Craig threw up a slide with a bunch of features they didn't mention.

Cool, thanks for confirming.
Long overdo change! I have to admit the lack of true localisation has always irritated me (I use British English).
Public Beta 3 is out
It's great to see operating system updates in System Preferences. Far less clunky than having them bundled in the Mac App Store. Although I fear they only moved it so it's on parity with iOS, not because having it in the Mac App Store was annoying.

Hello guys. How are the stability and battery life on Mojave? Can you run 32bit apps? I’m using Fireworks for light vector editing, just can’t find better app for my needs.. but Fireworks is not supported anymore and it’s 32bit
for now, but won't in next year's 10.15... (you'll get a pop-up notice first time you open a 32bit app in mojave); but yes, they run now...
"Grab" is gone. Now it is "Screenshot".
Did you use it? It always seemed really old and not very useful to me. But yeah every time an app dies it saddens me a little.

I know it would annoy a lot of people here but wish they'd change "System Preferences" to "Settings".
The amount of times I've had to call System Preferences "the little grey cogs on the bottom right" when helping people with Mac stuff is crazy. Settings is a much more recognised moniker nowadays, and consistency between iOS and macOS is always great.
Well... quite a few OTHER things would have to change then too... namely EVERY application.
If you check any applications menu you'll find stuff like "Safari → Preferences", "Pages → Preferences", and in the same wake "Apple (Menu) → System Preferences" as a location where you change GLOBAL settings, not just on a "per application basis".
So if consistency is key... these would have to change to "Safari → Settings", "Pages → Settings" etc..
I'm not sure that is a great idea...
Also... since everyone can move stuff around in the Dock and even REMOVE things... why do you tell them to look in the DOCK for it... and there in a specific location? Wouldn't it be FAR easier to tell them "Click on the Apple Icon in the top left... and then on "System Preferences". It reads it in clear letters... while Dock icons only show their names on mouse-over.
Love the name 'System Preferences' because it's kinda self-explaining..
And there is still a difference between phones or tablets and mac computers.
You can have different systems running on your mac, while you probably have just one OS on your iPhone.
And If they would do a change why not on iOS? 'System Preferences' goes back much longer..

It is a legacy app from the NeXTSTEP. I have always used the keyboard shortcuts to capture screenshots, but I am gonna miss that app.

Safari and iTunes are updated.
-
In the Recently Added page in iTunes, the time when the content was added is shown on a yellowish background which, in my opinion, looks ugly. It has been like this since the first beta, but I'm curious what others think about it.
Some other things which I noticed in iTunes:
- The artist names in the artist page is displayed in back while using dark appearance.
There're no dividers in Safari using the light appearance.
These have been fixed.
The blue used for the Safari's address bar focus colour and progress is lighter now:
And the animations across the OS are back.

There are tons of new wallpapers available in beta5. Welcome change.

Wow, loving the number of new wallpapers. I know people say it's a silly thing to care about as you can customise it yourself, but Apple have a habit of choosing really nice photos and I'm lazy so if they can do the legwork, then great!!
Wasn't expecting another 7 desert papers and a load of abstract ones. Just hoping they update the Dynamic ones at some point (not necessarily before the public release of 10.14) and don't let them stagnate for years like on iOS.

The lighter Safari loading bar is no good. Hope it’s a bug.

I love when they add new wallpapers but I hate when they dump old ones. The “Sky” wallpaper was removed which is beautiful. I also wish they would at least keep the old default ones. I want a modern version of Aurora.

I don’t like the lighter bar in Safari as well. And it’s inconsistent with the iOS app. Hopefully it’s a bug.
Yeah, I didn’t think about each app’s preferences. Interesting !
Also, if these people I’m helping don’t know what System Preferences is then they sure as heck don’t know they can move stuff around in the dock
The dock has a much more prominent border now

[doublepost=1532986244][/doublepost]The font rendering on Desktop icons also changed: it's a little bit lighter.

The front page article mentions that quite a few new wallpapers were added, but it doesn't mention the classic wallpapers present in High Sierra that got deleted after I updated to beta 5 - back up /Library/Desktop Pictures before updating. Some of these date back to OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion or earlier.
