There is a dynamic 'Big Sur' wallpaper, as well as the default one (light and dark variants) showed in the keynote:

Can you edit the meta data (cover art, etc) of purchased content on the TV.app, and does it sync to your iOS 14 and tvOS 14 device?
Like what you can do in the Music.app.

Is it really hard to post a screen shot?
Yes. Scared me to death when it booted up on my 2019 MacBook Air
Yup. I can confirm. I love it and I missed it! I’m glad it is back. Now, if only Apple were to include those amazing post-install “Welcome to OS X” videos, my life would be complete!
That is awesome. Whoever at Apple signed off on this, BRAVO!
@MacRumors should make a post about this on their home page...
Considering that I'm away from my system at the moment...yes.
The password text box on the lock screen is rounded off instead of being completely rectangular like in previous versions of macOS...
Here is the new lock screen design:

The battery indicator on the menu bar also indicates whether charging is on hold or not based on your MacBook’s charging pattern and the new battery health algorithm that shipped with macOS 10.15.6.
Does the lockscreen still show the default wallpaper even though you changed it to something custom?
I still have yet to figure if that was a change in Catalina or just a bug...

Please let it be a wiki to read all Little Things neatly ❤️
Just FYI - my Belkin Thunderbolt 3 Express HD dock's output stopped working when I upgraded to Big Sur. I had to use a USB-C to HDMI adapter to output to my external monitor.
Did anyone else spend like 5 minutes trying to figure out why their wifi signal was only 3 bars, only to find out they changed the max from 4 to 3?
Even for new Macs that didn't ship with a boot chime? If so, great news!
Here's a couple dark mode pictures...

Catalina doesn't do that for me personally

Maybe just group all the posts with unique screenshots. That's what I come for.
I like the new sidebar template/style.
The new title bar, not so much.
The 'search' bar should be at the top of the sidebar, not a icon in the title bar

Can we have iOS-esque folders on the dock?
or still only in LaunchPad?
Is it still called LaunchPad?
How much can finder be configured? I have so many questions
Is it possible to include the path bar at the bottom?
Does spacial finder still work (aka hide tool bar)?
Can you enable the setting to show the path in the title bar? https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/96737/how-do-i-get-the-full-path-for-a-file-in-finder

New alert dialogue for errors/warnings, only seen it in Finder thus far (also seen when warning you are moving a file out of iCloud Drive):
Traditional alert dialogues are still here, though they fade in a bit now rather than coming directly from the top of the window. That might not make sense, I'll capture a screen recording later if nobody else does.
