OS X 10.10 Yosemite: All The Little Things

[PsykX]

But Apple provides an edge to the stop lights when you mouse over them. Why not use that edge color in regular view? They will look more like buttons which you can click. See my pic below.

They already have an edge like what you suggest if you look carefully.

Some graphics elements feel not very clean on a non retina display, like this contact element with letters

All that non-retina screen stuff, you have to report it, it's your duty. The more reports Apple is gonna get, the more chances we have they revert back the fonts on those screens.

Safari "hand-pointers"

I don't want to install the beta, for I have only one Mac, but it would be great if someone could suggest Apple to change the cartoonish hand pointers in Safari, I think they really look out of place...

Double click tool bar

Many users who miss the old functionality of the green button, instead of option clicking the green button. If you just double click the toolbar( you know grey area that the traffic lights are placed) it performs the same function of option clicking the green button.

Does that mean the double click toolbar to minimise functionality from previous OS X versions has been done away with?

Yes, it seems like that. Not a big deal for me, since there is always the minimize button. The new way makes much more sense to me and to everybody else coming from Windows.

I installed the beta, so far two apps that I use daily don't work for me. That's Skype and Chrome. Anybody else having any issue with those two apps?

Actually, it isn't totally "done away with." You can get back the old functionality by going to system preferences>dock and checking off "double click a window's title bar to minimize."

I've noticed Launchpad animations on my late 2013 13" MBPr stutter slightly, while the animations on my mid 2011 Mac Mini run smoothly.

I understand this is beta but has anyone else experienced stuttering animations?

Guys, this is the WRONG thread for bugs. Here's what you should do: if you are in the Public Beta/Dev Preview, use the Feedback Assistant or file a radar at bugreport.apple.com. And then, post it over at the Bug Thread that is on the same page as this thread

Maybe we should rename this thread "All the little features". I just like to come here to see what new stuff other people have noticed (that are not bugs), and these posts make it hard to sift through and barely anyone answers these questions so they're just taking up space.

You'll find it in System Preferences, in Security/Privacy. Please also note that this also isn't the right forum for such questions.

Safari has new behavior for the favorites bar when fullscreen vs windowed; it used to be that "Show Favorites" (Formerly Bookmarks Bar, I think) would reveal the bar when windowed. but collapse into the URL/search bar when fullscreen. This behavior was also true for "Show Tab bar" now, both are always visible in either state.

Not that it's a big deal, I'm a little bummed about the change, it made moving tabs between windows easy when necessary, and allowed more screen space the rest. It's one of the few reasons I'm jealous of Chrome.

No need to be a dick about it.

I'm trying to direct you to a thread where you're more likely to get answers. Just reading the other thread, I'm sure someone might even have found a way to make Skype or chrome work. Maybe the person being a dick is the one who won't accept help.

Scanned the OP up and down and read nothing stating we couldn't point out little things we noticed that may or may not be bugs. We're just contributing to discussion by asking whether or not anyone has noticed or had similar experiences.

And if the posts irritate you so much don't respond to them, you're not helping your case at all.

Microsoft Outlook has issues....

If you are an Microsoft Outlook user...my advice do not upgrade!! Just spent 4 hours downgrading to Marvericks (thanks to Time Machine)!

I hope this hasn't been mentioned before -- the lock screen when waking up from sleep now shows an apple logo in the top left corner. I tried taking a screenshot but couldn't since it thought I was entering my password

I think you missed the very first couple of sentences in the OP that state that " this thread will go over all the little things this release shall have." We're looking for highlights, little features or changes that have happened in each Previews or updates to Yosemite. If the little change is that a bug was fixed, then feel free to post that. But simply posting bugs and looking for help/discussion about it, when there is an entire thread for that purpose, is what we want to avoid in this thread.

Like 53kyle, I'm just trying to help you get get the answers you want, which you won't find here. I mean come on, if there's a whole thread dedicated to bugs, what makes you think you won't find some discussion there?

Anyways, we have already filled this page with useless banter so this will be my last post about this.

You can use one of your keyboard screen capture shortcuts. Or what I did was have a button programmed to that shortcut on my mouse.

Generally speaking, I like the new Yosemite look. Menus are easier to read for me. The flat look will grow on me. I really like the translucency. But those stop lights at the top left of each window. They don't look like and it isn't intuitive that they are buttons. They almost look like accidental stains. Well, maybe not that bad. But Apple provides an edge to the stop lights when you mouse over them. Why not use that edge color in regular view? They will look more like buttons which you can click. See my pic below.

My buttons already look like your suggestion. The hover only adds the icons to the buttons, the edges remain the same.

Personally I think the Apple logo on the login screen looks incredibly retarded. It serves no purpose whatsoever, looks out of place and only clutters.

Today I noticed that there's a new 'Share to Twitter' animation in Safari .
Looks better and more futuristic to me...

 

[alexcanton]

Using both retina and non-retina displays on Yosemite, I’m starting to feel as if the push towards retina displays with the new Light Helvetica font, is too hard to see on standard displays.

I often find myself squinting. Anyone feel this?

 

[n-evo]

OS X Yosemite definitely needs more optimization for non-Retina displays.

Maybe I'm overlooking something, but is there a section in the Feedback Assistant for general/system-wide UI bugs like this?
