Container is still in devellopment. Thohnb, what do you mean with performance? Are you talking about performance of the devellpoment system or the performance of ready to use containers? I think in both cases it is too early to say anything about it. Container has to be develloped further. But it is a very interesting peace of software and i am waiting to see how it devellops.

I have a question: You can now change folder colors. Is that separate from tags? Or do folders simply take on the color of the tag they're given? If yes, what happens if a folder has multiple tags, what color does that folder become?
 
^^^^Yes:

With the new folder icon options, can you still paste an image into a file/folder's get info dialog to set completely custom icons?

Your can, you can also change SSD icons to custom icons, if the the SSD is not bootable. If Bootable, no dice👎🏼

In my experience with beta 1, changing the folder color is the same as changing the tag. That being said, customizing the folder with an icon is independent of any tags that may or may not be applied to the folder(s) in question.
 
Yes.

I wouldn't mind, but not sure how to do it. Can someone help generate the Wiki?


Not sure. I'm struggling to figure it out. Perhaps not this beta release, maybe the next one? I see no obvious UI function that would allow for folder color/emoji changes.
Changing the folder color/icon is simple and it already exists in the beta:
1. Right click the folder

2. Choose: "Customize folder..."
3. Choose your options:

Really easy!

Can someone share the ICNS file of the Finder icon in System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app before updating to beta 2? Apple massively changed the icon to reflect previous versions. I’d love to have the other one as an alt version.

The ICNS inside the Finder.app bundle is the current (Sequoia) one so I don't know where the Beta 1 one lives. I got you a max zoom screenshot though.

After moving a Shortcuts dialogue window, subsequent dialogue windows will appear at its position rather than reset to the middle of the screen. This always bugged me, I’m glad they changed it!
 
I know it's picking nits but the one visual change I'm struggling with on Tahoe is the lack of a background or border for the menu bar. I just don't like how there's no shading or shadow between the text/icons and the wallpaper. I thought perhaps they could bring that back but give it the round edges on the top and bottom corners, like a giant version of the tab selector in a lot of the apps. It would feel more clean and official and not like something half finished. But maybe that'll be coming in another beta. Fingers crossed. They could also make it an optional setting if they want folks to have the choice.

Added option in beta 2

No it wasn’t. He’s replying to someone requesting at the minimum an old style menu bar (like the one in macOS Sequoia) instead of a fully transparent one. The option to bring that back, while preserving transparency system-wide, got added in beta 2 and wasn’t present in beta 1.
