Zip files have a new icon!

Also, I’ve found that with Yosemite, Finder is much more often an “App Using Significant Energy”… though my battery life was increased by about 25%. Here’s to hoping iOS 8 shows the same battery improvement for iPhones..

Has the Star Wars hologram effect in Photo booth already been there? In my memory it was demoed at one point but never made it into the final product.
 
Is it just me or does the Apple logo in the menu bar just look really strange now? Like...I keep comparing it with the one on the back of my MacBook and they just seem different. The digital version in Yosemite looks as if the leaf is sitting too upright and the dimples aren't large enough...it's really getting to me for some reason. But then I'll look back at it later on and it'll look fine. Am I going mad? :mad:

You're right! I think the leaf is a lot thinner than before...
 
I might be nitpicking, but with Yosemite bringing the crisp and precise look from iOS, I really think they should fix this. (Yosemite screenshot borrowed from another thread.)

first impressions

nothing major, except for total lack of wifi discovery / connectivity. :/
otherwise I really like it. dark theme rules.
 
I don't know if this has been mentioned already, but akin to iOS 7 / 8 you can Increase the contrast (which automatically reduced transparency). In prior DPs of Yosemite you could only reduce transparency.

This results in a number of things. Just look at the screenshots I provided.
(Before, After, SysPrefs)

More likely it’s about the vertical placement of the colon.

Both, actually!

IIRC they even gave it a special mention in one of the iOS 7 WWDC sessions about typography. So why miss it this time? (It's so trivial, though, I think my bug report might never hear an answer back. Probably a shout out to Tim some other time ;p)

High constrast look gorgeous! i will use it!
 
In unrelated news: (I already posted this in another thread...)

I just installed the Yosemite beta on my main machine after having tested DP1-4 on a separate partition.

Everything seems to be as expected, however, I am getting this strange window frame every now and then. It first appeared in
System Preferences → Keyboard → Text
and after that is persistent to all System Preferences windows.
Anyone got any idea what exactly that is (yes for debugging the layout of some sort... but why do EYE see it?!). And more importantly how to get rid of it?!

This all new in DP4 or Public Beta?

I never liked Bing. it seems to me too Ad oriented. Of course, Google is much more Ad oriented, but at least they know how to hide it.

Google is easier to read, and I usually get more relevant search results in Google.

I just wish the transition to Bing will be smooth for those users who prefer Google.

Youtube now defaults to HTML5 and you can't change it back to flash player. Unfortunately, the youtube HTML5 player (like the netflix HTML5 player) feels incomplete. I really hope apple at least gives us an option to switch players, and for netflix too.

I want a world free of Flash!

I'm not sure where that warning is coming from, it's perfectly sunny outside and we don't generally get tornadoes in Australia.

It's says Marcus Beach further down, in the forecast section.
 
I don't know if anyone's noticed this... but the new TextEdit icon doesn't have the "Here's to the crazy ones..." on it.
 
Don't know if this has been mentioned before, but the Get Info window in iTunes 12 has had a major redesign.

Very pretty!
 
I'm sure it has been pointed out already, but... Pi.
