OS X 10.10 Yosemite: All The Little Things

[xmichaelp]

The only complaint I have is the Finder logo. Just not cutting it for me. I much prefer the one on the apple website in 10.10 screenshots. more like the last one just with a different color scheme.

Is it possible to change dock icons and dock background?

Ugliest OS i've ever seen. What a disaster, looks like some of the crappy X11 or Java ported apps out there. Uggh, that System font is horrendously hideous.

More than ever this OS needs to be opened up to theming and font swapping, Apple have no style or taste these days. What's with the 1950's style typography??? UGLY!!!

Reminds me that Blue/White Apple CRT Studio display that Jony Ive designed, which looked like a vehicle rear vision mirror from the 1950's, atrocious.

Updates generally can't please everyone (not that anybody gives a damn if you don't like it)

Calculator surprised me. The icon and widget have the flat look and i'm sure it will soon.

So is Aqua dead? Is this a continuation of Aqua? If not, what is this called?

good question. If you go back to like pages 7 - 10 a lot of none flat remains like in ios 7. apple might just be trying to slowly get people away from 3d like elements. Or this could just be a really early release from 6 months ago. Dunno.

Anyway more eye candy:

Notice how the indicators sort of change with the wallpaper. love that. Oh, btw, you can't change them anymore, image files are gone in the system library.

Here goes: I rarely ever use full-screen but use the green button to resize my windows daily! I am now slightly inconvenienced by having to hold down option -.-

Yes, in light of this, here's something that you just might like. Check out an app called Cinch: http://www.irradiatedsoftware.com/cinch/

here is a closer look at the dock indicator lights.

what's yours on? mines a MBA

Maybe Apple has a black boot on MBA and white on MBP/iMac for contrast like black/white iOS devices? Neet.

I guess you've never seen any version of windows or linux. Or early versions of OS X...

(Not saying they're all ugly, but they're significantly worse than 10.10.

Anyone else with a Macbook Pro having wifi issues?

What's reliability like as a whole? Tempted to install on my everyday Pro.

Here's the new white dock app folder and launchpad folder theme. Much improved over the black with a white border IMO. Also notice no more dock when you're in a launchpad folder.

Here's a flat iTunes icon for you.

Can anyone comment on how Yosemite runs on a HDD vs an SSD? Also, could a few pictures of the typography on a 13-inch non-Retina display be posted? Thanks in advance.

Does Candybar work on Yosemite?

yes. Liteicon sort of works. you'll have to change your folders with get info however.

Does anybody know how SMS'll be synced to OSX 10.10? Could imagine several solutions like BT LE (won't be usable on Mac < 2010 [e.g. MacBook Alu late 08]), the way like it interacts with smart watches (e.g. pebble). Another way could be real WLAN connection like iTunes sync - but for a always on connection it would drain the batterie. So there's another option using iCloud / push?

Can someone confirm if the process to make a bootable pendrive is the same of Mavericks?

Wow great post.

Wow, nice, do you have as well the finder icon

When OS X Lion was first introduced (keynote) I immediately figured full-screen was incorporated into the green window control button with option click for zoom. When I figured out it was a seperate button it seemed pretty stupid to me. Glad they finally integrated things.

The placement of window control buttons seem a bit irregular though.

Yes it is.

Definitely runs smoother on my SSD vs my HDD. Not a big difference to the average user but as an IT tech I can spot the difference in loading times on certain screens.

Any dark mode screens?

 

[Mitosan]

i'm not really happy with all the transparency in yosemite. it takes, as of now, some performance away. i'm glad that u can reduce it to a minimum

That option is currently not present.
