macOS Tahoe 26.0 Beta 1 - Bug fixes, changes, and more

[ext195]

Looks like something is very wrong in current beta with those huge shadows in toolbar buttons and it will be fixed, that's how finder is supposed to look as shows in wwdc videos for devs, still questionable, but much much better.

Good catch, it does look way better like this

That looks like a mock up, not an actual app build they have hidden away.

Looks much better except for list view, that thing has too much padding. List view is used when you want to see as much stuff as possible, adding more padding to it is counterintuitive.

Of course that's a mock up, but at least now we know what they are targeting, they showed extremely little of macOS in keynote and promo website, zero screenshots of finder.

Padding is terrible for a desktop app, especially double padding for the new sidebar design, simply put it looks like a simplified iPad app designed for touch.

Then they're actually committing to phone ui on desktop os, not a good look for a long time mac fan.

This is more acceptable.

Can anyone located in the EU check if the Phone app is working for them (is the phone app even visible in the EU region)? Thanks!

Are there any changes to Freeform? Ability of having a Folder Structure?

This looks good at least

That's good. I hope it can actually play videos now.

If you're talking about iPhone mirroring, a French journalist asked during the post WWDC chat and Apple said it still won't be available for users in the EU.

It gets worse - a roundRect running into a rect.

Here is a deactivated Finder window with Show Status Bar enabled.

Is that some sort of ugly or what?

Did you report as a bug? If not I might, it's really bad...

 

[galad]

That's already a known issue in the macOS 26 release notes.

No, it’s not even available. I switched the Media & Purchases account to the US, and it appeared, but it’s not working.

This definitely feels like a step backwards..
Long time Apple purist.. Are going to want to turn off the "glass" if possible.. No doubt about it...They are going to hate it

That's true. Long time Apple users have never used a shiny, lickable interface before.

you mean this?


>Users who enable path bar or status bar in Finder and use list view might be unable to access the last item in the list. > (151917092)
> Workaround: Disable path bar or status bar temporarily.

What's going on with padding in list view? Why in some screenshots it looks like this:

Yet there are screenshots where list view looks compact like before? Is this a setting that can be changed somewhere?

EDIT: It appears to be this setting:

Sorry for confusion.

This is all looking much worse in reality or if you see the whole screen.

Too much information on the background…

Not iPhone Mirroring, it's a new app.

iPadOS 26 and macOS Tahoe Include Phone App With Call Screening, Hold Assist and More

With iPadOS 26 and macOS Tahoe, Apple is expanding the Phone app to the Mac and the iPad for the first time. It might not make a lot of sense for...

I would install Tahoe only for design of Safari, but it's better to wait because I have only one MacBook as my daily driver. September, I can't wait!!!

 

[Cameront9]

If you're in Dark Mode and have reduce transparency enabled what does the menu bar look like?

It doesn’t work without the workaround in EU

I jumped into it again by changing language and region to EN (US) and logging in with a US AppleID into AppStore.

Oh ok. That works … but is nothing more than a FaceTime in new clothes
