OS X 10.10 Yosemite: All The Little Things

It's literally just a single flag that has to be set... there's nothing rewriting about it, and I'm certain one could use mach_inject or SIMBL to force this behavior across all apps.
Eh, they still have to keep it as an optional flag. Developers have no way to know how the unified toolbar will impact the design of their current apps. Some apps (see Coda) have a pretty unique toolbar scheme. I'm not sure why Apple hasn't employed the unified toolbar in some of their apps where it's clearly safe to do so, but we'll see.
The API is designed that way for backwards compatibility, so even if an OS X 10.10 target app has the flag set, it won't mess things up on OS X 10.8 or 10.9. But you're right in saying some apps have a bit more toolbar work to them. Coda and the like actually don't use toolbars, they use the titlebar view itself (see: INAppStoreWindow on GitHub for how this is done), so that might be a different story. But yeah, you're right.
Here you go. Pictures include the selected menu bar item in grey/graphite, and a Finder window with the traffic lights being graphite.
On a separate note, did anyone notice the 'Go' menu items in Finder (from the menu bar) no longer feature colored icons?

I'm talking about OS X build-in apps; the ones made by Apple... There doesn't seem to be much consistency in what apps have their stoplights moved to the title bar and which don't. At first I thought it has to do with document based apps (where having a title bar makes sense to quickly see what document/folder you're in). It doesn't explain though why Dictionary and the App Store still have them on top of the toolbar buttons.

I thought the same many times over with previous OS X DPs and certain interface changes. In most cases these inconsistencies made it into the shipping version.Agree with you here, but it's still DP not even beta
+rep.
Same issue here.
[ rEFInd does NOT work with OSX 10.10. ]
Anyone have any ideas/fixes please???
thank you.
Is there any rumours about when the beta program is going public? I know it is going to be in the summer, but is there any specific date for that?
You can just easily download a Developer Preview and use that. There's no difference other than the naming. The Public Beta will most likely be DP4 or DP5, just available to download in a different way.
DP3's going to be released today, so you might want to try that out if you're that impatient.
My guess is the Public Beta isn't going live until all features are in working order and the interface is a lot more polished. They're not going to expose the general public to OS X Yosemite until it's near-final. Apple would be nuts to do so.
Hopefully that ugly-ass (new) drop shadow doesn't make it into the shipping version of Mail

I thought Apple was moving AWAY from shadows...?
Like at least one other person said, unfortunately, probably not. I know we're relatively early in the DP stage, but I have a feeling that either:Agree with you here, but it's still DP not even beta
1) The UI inconsistency will remain and only some apps will use the unified toolbar
2) They may actually decide at the last minute to scrap the unified toolbar. If iTunes and a Safari beta from the past years prove anything, Apple tends to revert any major changes to the toolbar and stick with the original formula, even if those changes were touted pretty loudly as saving users' previous screen real estate.
Remember these? iTunes 10's vertical stoplights were promptly removed in the next release. Safari 4 Beta's top tabs never survived in the final release.
Oh yeah, and both new designs were easily reverted back to the old style via a hidden terminal command. Apple left a "back door" of sorts to quickly revert to the old formula. Hm… sounds familiar.
Don't be surprised if the unified toolbar get scraped before Yosemite hits GM. Remember, they only need to change one little flag in their code to remove this within the few apps that actually use it. Somebody at Apple may decide that the UI inconsistency is not worth saving a few pixels in a window.
At first I was like "oh, wow they definitely improved those icons." Then, I realized I was looking at the old ones. What the heck is up with that huge drop shadow that obscured the "California" text?

I honestly have no idea why you people think website optimized artwork will be applied 1:1 to OS X.
I don't think it'll will be applied 1:1 to OS X, but I do think there needs to be some consistency even on the website, no? How is it "optimized artwork" when it's not getting better, and standing out while every other app icon has only subtle shadow?
I honestly can't be bothered by a random icon having an heavier dropshadow on the Apple website. The OS X Yosemite interface and its web page are clearly still in flux. Why not wait with complaining about these details (if you must in the first place) until the whole thing has been finalized?
