Any changes regarding Finder’s UI in beta 2? I mean, I think most of us agreed that Finder’s windows’ new UI was a bit unfortunate, and maybe they tweak it over the betas…

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.

Correct. I love the transparency effects just not the fully transparent menu bar, that bothers me for some reason I'm sure I'll figure out in time.

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

The issue has been fixed in Beta 2. SSDs that are bootable can now have their icons changed 👍

I’m not sure if it’s a bug or a feature, but the mouse cursor shows up on screenshots now. There’s a “Show Mouse Pointer” settings in Screenshot.app (cmd, shift + 5), but I don’t remember if it was there in earlier versions of macOS. The setting also affects the behaviour in the chromeless screenshot tools (cmd, shift + 3/4).

Again, that’s not what people are talking about. This concerns the Menu Bar only and the option to give it a transparent background in beta 2. Read up:

In macOS Tahoe Beta 2, Apple included a new option to add a background to the menu bar, making it possible to have a menu bar design that’s similar...
