Menu bar shadow

So, now it seems that the screens posted on Apple's website depict the latest changes made to the GUI, even if the next DP is not yet out. And many of us noted that the menu bar has never had a shadow on these screens, even after they were updated, whereas it has a shadow in the DPs. The menu bar may thus lose its shadow in the forthcoming DPs I presume.

There is definitely a shadow in the website screenshots.
 
Really ? Well maybe, but it's very difficult to see on the website with my 1440*900 screen. But I'm sure that the menu bar looks flatter than in the DPs. You could even see the difference during the WWDC demos, when Craig Federighi switched from screenshots to the live Yosemite.

It's a much larger shadow than in mavericks, so it's not as noticeable but there's a gradient below the menu bar. Maybe the DPs still have the mavericks shadow.
 
The OS X screen shots on the website and PR shots have always looked slightly off. It's interesting because the Trash icon OS X Mountain Lion introduced has been used in Mac OS X PR material since the Panther days. Maybe even before. At least, it looked more similar to the current Trash can icon than the one we actually had between 2001-2012.
 
Did a clean install of 10.10 and all of a sudden I'm able to see text messages in my Messages.app and able to start phone calls from my Mac (although I can't get them to go through). Handoff is still not working. This is on a 2011 MBP.
 
I presume we haven't been treated to any new screensaver animations in Yosemite? Just the old classics?

I performed a clean install on my iPhone 5S and 2013 nMac Pro, everything is working so much better.

Over a decades worth of developing and programming, I'd never used an OS X beta/DP as unstable as 10.10. The clean install made a world of difference, 'course only using it on a second drive for development, never as a main OS.

Wish Apple would revert back to pre 10.7 development, release updates that require a clean install over a 1 1/2 - 2 year period. Was the best way to ensure third party app's that use(d) installers or plugin's, etc didn't interfere with OS X development while allowing developers to test the system and their app's. I feel as though OS X is rushed on an annual release schedule; we're still on 10.9.4 testing and based on how long they've progressed may still be when 10.10 is released.
 
Just noticed this (new?) itunes logo when subscribing to a podcast.

Has this always been here? It definitely looks flatter. Is this the real new itunes logo?

Also, I absolutely love the darker blue selector color.

I think Yosemite has an outdated version of iTunes by default. Did you ever upgrade to the latest version, or are you using whatever it had preinstalled? I can't think of any reason why this icon should exist in the version hosted on Apple.com.
 
Pretty sure they'd use the red icon to match the Music icon in iOS. That's the theme with all of the other apps.
 
Ugh, based on the changes on Apple's website, the new Finder icon is here to stay :( I preferred the demo/pre-DP1 Finder icon (not the Mavericks one; the new Finder icon that had a longer span for the smile vs. the thinner smile now, if that makes sense)

I did a fresh install so itunes was the one that came with beta 1. And the logo isn't the old one, it's in the new flatter style just a different color and different gradient style. The icon on the actual app is just the old aqua one from mavericks.
 
There still a lot of inconsistencies on title bar across the apps that Apple needs tô fix before final release here a screenshot, also WTF with Notes yellow selection? haha

Search bars color/tranparency/size
Title itens selection (ibooks is blue, Calendar is gray)
Notes selection/sidebar tranparency

The traffic lights annoy me the b=most out of all of them. They really need to sort it out, 1px+ out is annoying.
 
I still don't get why some apps have the stoplights moved into the toolbar while others still have them above the toolbar buttons.

So....for some reason my entire Messages, Mail, Notes, and Reminders apps no longer work on my Mac. Yosemite is all of a sudden interpreting these apps as not being compatible and I have not found a way to revert this. This is an odd bug considering they were working perfectly fine before.
