The window looks fine, until you see those Forward and Backward buttons… What on earth where they thinking? And why do some sidebars ‘float’ but others don’t?
Got a tip for us?

Thanks. Could you please do a screenshot with a window active, to see the white/grey levels?
I always have folders pinned to my Dock that only include the preinstalled apps.

i'm very baffled by the design choice of encasing the Finder sidebar in a separate roundrect but i'll wait for GM to see how that shakes out
How do you do that? I can't drag Applications down. I'd much prefer something like this... but I miss having it FULL SCREEN instead of the postage stamp we have now.
Edit: Nevermind, I see it now. Right click on it in the Sidebar on macOS -> Add to Dock.
I also used Hot Corners to trigger Launchpad (in my case, bottom right). I'll miss that, a lot.
It didn't show me my latest screenshot on the Desktop when I click "Attach files". Strange.
Little Snitch still working, Adguard too, Also Proton VPN and Drive, Dropbox, 1Password 6!!! and everything else in the menu, what had been on the Mac before.
15.5 was the least stable version since the DB1 of 15.0, this can only get better. Even Total Finder ran for a short time until it crashed, but it's officially only compatible up to Monterey or Ventura I think.

Initial impressions... it's really sluggish on my M2 Pro MacBook Pro. Some animations feel like they are running at 30fps, various things feel slow to load.
Also, I was pretty hyped by the news of a redesign and I regret it now. It's not TERRIBLE, but I think I prefer Sequoia, looks-wise. That's coming from somebody who usually likes shiny new things, too.

I agree. The "new" look isn't very compelling, in my opinion. I think that I will stick with Sonoma / Sequoia for the time-being.

Is there any way to recreate the Sequoia menu bar, where it’s essentially a slight contrast to the wallpaper? I think it looks beautiful and is certainly more fictional than no bar at all.
I’m honestly shocked that Apple chose ‘consistency’ across its platforms rather than valuing that every platform has different input methods. Tahoe’s UI is almost the opposite of what you would want for point and clicking.

In the new applications view in Spotlight there is a button that lets you sort alphabetically and change to a list style instead of icon grid. The alphabetical list still groups by letters and has the show more for big groups, but it does at least allow you to avoid the auto categorization. I do wish Apple would just let us override some categorizations. Perhaps the categorization will get better once apps are updated for Tahoe
Here is is with Reduce Transparency enabled (there doesn't seem to be much difference in windows between it being enabled/disabled at the minute).

This is what I miss the most! I like the new spotlight for searching through things but why did they get rid of launchpad? I like seeing a grid of my apps
anyone got a link to the new wallpaper? I'm not installing a beta but I'd love to rock the new light/dark themes for the summer
Can someone check if there are any new video wallpapers will Tahoe? They normally add one of the real life location as well as the default abstract one.

I had that ON and was getting a weird flickering in safari on the address bar. Same in calendar. Tried regular display settings without any luck, disabling that seems to have resolved the issue
Everything much warmer than before... The Efficiency Cores were mostly around 40 Celsius before same for the others and the GPU. Now Performance Cores are jumping between 40 and almost 80 all the time while doing nothing.
It's not the app, the Mac Mini is hot when I touch it. Luckily I can ramp the fans up with this.
