Probably already mentioned, but the translucent menu bar is no longer a separate option in PB2. This is now controlled by the global reduce transparency option under Accessibility.

Makes sense. That's where you find it in iOS 7 too. Shame though you can't have a transparent Dock with a solid menu bar anymore though. Or does the Dock remain transparent now?

The notes has the texture as a tiny remnant of skeuomorphism left. Not nearly as annoying as a fully yellow lined notepad so I don't have much problem with it. I don't like the yellow though. But it's from iOS so I guess that's the reasoning.

The dark blue in contacts should be what all the others are though. I much prefer the darker shade, the lighter ones look washed out.

Also, I don't see why they needed to squeeze down the itunes top bar. Looked better before.

Public Beta 2 bug:

When you are trying to format your iphone through itunes, itunes will crash and leave your phone in DFU mode. When you retry the process, itunes crashes every time.

Be careful. Do NOT try to format your phone unless you have a backup computer to do it.
 
IDK if this has been mentioned but there's a new charging bar. It's no longer like on iOS. The lightning bolt is INSIDE the battery now...

This may be new in recent DPs, or maybe not, but I took out my old white apple remote so I could control my iTunes from across the room, and the batteries were low. I hit the play button, and the entire screen got blurred, like the mission control background, and in the middle of the screen was a diagram showing how to replace batteries in the remote.

I am at least sure that the full screen blur thing is new in Yosemite. I would post screenshots but I think I need to restart the computer to make it show the message again, and I don't really feel like doing that at the moment.

It bothers me that the lightning bolt no longer changes into a plug symbol when the battery is charged like in previous versions of Mac OS X. A quick glance at the icon always makes me think the battery is charging, even when it's not.

Maybe they want to make it ore like iOS; which also doesn't show a plug...
 
Don't think anyones mentioned the updated dictation popup... was still the old one last time I used it.
