macOS Tahoe 26.0 Beta 3 - Bug fixes, changes, and more

[Internet Enzyme]

The black bar under the tabs has been fixed so that's cool. But they also toned down the glass part for sure.

Edit: The "Show Color in Tab Bar" option for Safari was fixed.

Turning off "Show Color in Tab Bar" has just made Safari usable again. Thank God.

I don't think the full installer can be used as an on-device upgrade. It's meant to be installed from another mac or set up on a bootable USB drive

I can’t for the life of me understand why they keep doing things like this, only to add an option to turn it off. Who actually believes features like this are a good idea in the first place?

They are called "Android users".

Finally.

Looks somehow different than before the black lines.

I used it several times to update. Especially when something is wrong it could be fixed that way.

Nice, glad tabs are fixed. Pls post more changes if there are any.

Is this new:

In Display settings my display now has this as wallpaper. Not sure, but I think it didn't have any at all before.

Did you use it to update Tahoe 26 Beta 3? Or via SystemUpdate?

 

[LutzRFrank]

same here, OTA not showing up on my M1 (no Rosetta installed)

Which tab is active?

That arrow got a little too large.

The MacRumors tab.

I put Rosetta in the Trash. Not it works.

At least it's downloading fast now. Already at 4GB three minutes later.

how did you put Rosetta in Trash?

 

[mxrider88]

Did they add back safari compact view?

Did they reduce the size of the UI elements or does it still look like a toy?

I used SystemUpdate after putting two Rosetta folders into Trash. The full installer always gave me a beach ball. Same after the update.

Uninstall Rosetta :

(Step-by-Step) How to Uninstall Rosetta 2 from an M1 Mac?

This post tells you how to uninstall Rosetta 2 from your M1 Mac with detailed steps, how to check if Rosetta 2 is installed and whether Rosetta is bad for Mac.

iboysoft.com

After Rosetta is uninstalled you can update to beta 3.

It seems Apple had issues with the Silicon Version so the one out at the moment is for Intel Macs only that is why people with the M1 upwards won't see the new update to install.

 

[Adora]

how did you put Rosetta in Trash?

I deleted those two folders only. There is more but it seems it had been enough. You might need to disable SIP before.

/Library/Apple/usr/share/rosetta
/Library/Apple/usr/libexec

Let's see what happens when I put them back now.

Did they add back safari compact view?

Nope.

Seems to work again after a reboot. Before 1Password mini was gone from my Menu Bar. It's still version 6 and needs Rosetta.

 

[mxrider88]

Nope.

I’m starting to think that they are really lost.
The non compact view, paired with the bigger UI elements, makes a 14” feel like a 12”.

But good that they said that the new transparent menu bar makes your display feel bigger.

Someone needs to be sent out of the door at Apple.

hmm, my screen looks no smaller (or bigger for that matter 🤔) than it did in sequoia...

And the fact that it’s the default is just going to frustrate a lot of users. They tried this same stuff with the whole “compact” colored safari ui a few years ago and apparently didnt learn their lesson

Folks liked the compact UI, hell one of them just posted in here asking if they brought it back with the new beta!

The arrow would be fine, if they reduced the font size 🤔 🤣🤣🤣
