I just installed on a separate volume. It’s really good now so I may use it full time. The biggest issue at the start was that Dark Mode wasn’t worked out in all areas and the “marzipan” apps were garbage. They seemed to fix the former and they’ve made the new apps feel native to Mac.
Got a tip for us?

how do you install and boot from a different volume? its not overly complicated is it?
In Disk Utility just click the Add Volume button on the title bar and it just takes a few seconds to create a new bootable volume. With APFS you no longer need to partition your drive or allocate space. Next you’ll need to register a download key from Apple which will unlock public betas in the App Store.

You’ll still be able to access all your files on your main OS so you don’t need to fill up a bunch of space with duplicate apps and stuff.
Let me solve this issue myself. After many trials I found the following solution: With the App "Metadatics" I had to erase the track names from the metadata. The track names are still available in the file names. I changed the file names to <CD#><Track#><Track name>. Now the audiobooks show up normally in iTunes. As always, after adding to the library they show up under "Music", that can easily be changed through "Album info".
By the way, the issue outlined in the original post also applies to "Sierra". I had originally imported these audiobooks under "El Capitan". After the update to Sierra I didn't note any problems with my iTunes audiobook library. The corruption started to show up after the update to "Mojave".
- System Preferences > App Store is gone, the preferences are located inside the app:
- Apple went back to the lighter High Sierra menu selection color.
- More transparent icon for System Preferences > Users & Groups, more transparent font in System Preferences show all view (though to be honest, this is probably a bug):
Does anyone know if they have integrated the Touch Bar with things like enabling dark mode? Or the screen capture/record features?
I think as MacOS moves forward the Touch Bar is going to become more useful especially with Marzipan apps that are use to touch from IOS.

No dark mode toggle for the Touch Bar, but thanks to the Touch Bar support for Automator shortcuts, you can now create one for yourself! Might be possible for screen capture aswell but I'm not 100% sure. (Though unfortunately, it seems that toggling it has to be a two-step process, first you have to press on the "Workflows" symbol on the TB, then on the one you created for dark mode. Still much better than having to go into system preferences each time.)
That’s a nice find
I know that Apple updated the Touch Bar at WWDC this year at least in a small way, I just wasn’t sure if with all the features they announced in MacOS Mojave the Touch Bar will be used to toggle some of them on or off and if it will be usable for things like screen record and so on. https://insights.dice.com/2018/06/07/wwdc-2018-macbook-touch-bar-lurking/
I found that article very interesting, Marzipan May make better use of it in time to come (probably next year when it’s rolled out to developers).
The light blue progress bar is back...

Fixed in Beta 7.
In the latest Public Beta, (Build #18A353d), when I change the Accent color to 'Graphite' in Dark Mode this happens to the title bar area of certain Apps (Finder, Safari, Mail, Photos AFAIK):
Anyone else have this, or is it just my install?
It's the equivalent of pre-Mojave "Graphite appearance", where everything went grayscale.
What does this mean, that those one Yosemite and earlier cannot upgrade directly, but have to go through El Capitan, first?
Probably it just means that you have to manually download the full installer from the App Store, rather than it being downloaded and installed automatically.
Oh...
Little less than a year ago, I reset my Mac back to Lion via Internet Recovery. When I proceeded to install the High Sierra, I had to download the El Capitan first, and then High Sierra, couldn't go straight to HS.
So, I thought this was something similar.
They’ve changed it now, so if you attempt to use Internet Recovery it will download the latest version of macOS, instead of the one your computer has come with. That’s why El Capitan was installed first.

Not sure if this is new to Beta 9 (or 8, or 7...) but I had just noticed this. Probably coincides with the new wallpapers being added; but all those beautiful Aerial, Cosmos and Nature Patterns collections previously available are now gone in screensavers! Now it is simply some collections of the new wallpapers... Simply making them the same as the wallpaper selection makes it seem like a lazy decision on Apple's part.

Yesterday I was changing my terminal font and font-size, the font selector as far as I know has always give the ability to set manually enter a font-size like (14.5, 17, etc).
I did it yesterday before updating to DP 8, now the option is gone I can now only choose the default font-size.
Is this a change or a bug?

Make the window a bit bigger in the vertical direction, then the full controls will come back.
