macOS 10.14 Mojave: All The Little Things

[afir93]

Had the same for years... by having the Applications Folder on the right side of the dock.

Yeah but then it takes up an additional slot in the Dock, unnecessarily so if you already have the Launchpad in it. Besides, it wouldn’t be at the left end of the Dock where Windows users might be more used to its position from the Start menu.

More options are great and the Dock icon for the Launchpad feels like a pretty natural place for something like that.

Don't know if it has been posted already but here it goes. In Safari if you download the exact same file twice, you don't end up anymore with two duplicates of the same file.

Not complaining
Just saying that there was a similar way to do it before. Me, personally, I removed the Launchpad Icon from the Dock. Kinda redundant as you have a trackpad gesture and the F-key or potentially touchbar.

But that's the great thing... everyone can literally have their own cake... and eat it, too!

Pretty sure you’re not the only one.

Yep! I noticed that too

Any news? Does it show up in App Store for anybody, yet?

Come on, Apple, come on!

Most likely will be downloaded from the software update instead of the App Store tomorrow

iOS 12 was released at 7 PM (Central European Summer Time). I don't expect macOS Mojave before that time either.

No it doesn't and I'm getting upset.

Even with 7pm European time it was released later. I think at least 9-10 pm

On my iPhone the update appeared at 7 PM Amsterdam time, which is CEST.

I thought I would get used to this by now, but I'm still not used to the way the safari tab bar looks. I can't remember how it used to look, but I know something about it is different.

Because of the inclusion of favicons maybe? Or has it changed in some other way?

It's not that. The overall appearance of the tab bar looks strange. It looks very grey compared to how I remember it looking in prior versions.

Favicons on tabs aren't enabled by default because it looks like crap.

Mojave will be released in 2 hours and 15 more mintues

Yep, 6PM GMT / 11AM PST

I've just installed macOS Mojave (18A391) does anyone know why Feedback Assistant icon is still in the Dock and Launchpad? Thought it wouldn't be visible. I unenrolled from the public beta program weeks ago...

 

[Shawzborne]

Anyone find any new hidden features/tweaks in the GM version?

 

[Marketh]

I've just installed upgrading from High Sierra, and my trash is still called...trash! I thought Mojave had localisations for UK English and this would be called 'Bin'?

Delete the alias from /Applications/Utilities and it will disappear from launchpad, drag the icon out of the dock to remove it from there.

I know they aren't enabled by default – the question is still warranted. I could totally see myself excitedly turn then on at the beginning of the beta phase and then forget that I did that a few months later and wonder if it has always looked like that lol.

Personally I don't find them too great-looking either and will probably leave them off, but they have been a common request for years now (and there are some good UI-arguments to be made in favor of them!).

It is interesting how Notifications panel does not make things behind it inactive. Cannot remember if this also was the thing in previous versions. See, I was hovering my mouse over notifications, and Conversation on this forum (envelope button on the upper right corner) shows drop down menu. Same is with other sites.

When looking at the storage space and what takes it up, the colors for the spaces are different, system is gray when it used to be yellow, photos is yellow and not green and documents are green instead of purple. apps are red instead of blue.

Sadly we don’t have Siracusa reviews anymore, but I think this is the closest thing: https://arstechnica.com/features/2018/09/macos-10-14-mojave-the-ars-technica-review/

I think the article is well written, has lots of small details, which we barely touched in this topic during the betas. Worth a read.
