What the heck is up with the new Mail icon? The text 'California' is now harder to read and looks ugly when imposed on top of that heavy shadow.
Hoping this is just an error/experiment. But, yeah, alot of things about Yosemite seems to be in flux right now. (Finder icon, I'm looking at you.)
I disagree. The "hero" of the Mail icon is the stamp. The text is just a decoration. I doubt any mainstream user would notice the text on the icon, let alone reading it.

The Public Beta page says, "Since the beta software is unfinished, some new features will not be available, such as phone calls, SMS, Handoff, Instant Hotspot, and iCloud Drive. Spotlight suggestions are U.S.-based only. Some applications and services may not work properly with the beta software. When creating or making changes to documents stored in iCloud, your documents will sync only with Macs running the OS X Yosemite Beta and with iOS devices running iOS 8."

I am definitely waiting for this release more than anything else. Including any and all new hardware. 
Yuck! Don't mess with something already good when you don't have a better alternative.
Most of those features require iOS 8 so obviously they're informing the user about those not being available. My point is, Apple is going to wait until OS X Yosemite is a lot more polished and stable before exposing more people to it. Otherwise they'll risk a lot of negative (mouth-to-mouth) publicity.
A long time ago. I have a PowerBook G4 running Mac OS X v10.4 and the option is there too.
Good news, everyone! 10.10 DP3 is out! Let's see whats new and find those little things

The menu bar icons has been updated for Dark mode!
You can now use dark mode as the default! There is now a system preference for Dark mode as well. The terminal command does nothing. As expected though, third party icons will have to be updated to support dark mode.

Other changes:
* Activity Monitor's memory pressure bar has been fixed (it was broken in DP2)
* Feels much more stable, animations are still a little jaggy but smoother than they were in DP2.

New Font Book Icon, and new Quicktime icon! Font book has also been updated for Yosemite's look. Looks much nicer.
