OS X 10.10 Yosemite: All The Little Things

[0000111]

That menu option has probably been present for as long as there has been the ability to log in.

It's present in Mavericks, and so on.

Yes

Christ, I feel foolish.

Is ANY of the menu new? I just felt suspicious after installing DP7...

They removed the software update option. It has been a part of the App Store for a while, so no need for duplication.

I am pretty sure this Time Machine icon is new in DP7 and wasn't in DP6 or PB2.

I retract my previous statement about the dark mode spotlight. The photo I saw made it look like it was pitch black and in windows high contrast mode. Now that I see it's translucent it looks good. Not sure why the selection color on it is blue though when it's white on the dark menu bar.

The drop-down shadow is far too large though (some wallpapers look crap on Yosemite because of it). You don't need shadows this large to determine layers (I'm a Graphic Designer).

It's barely even there though... I thought the old shadows ruined some wallpapers. White ones especially. It left an annoying dark line separating the light menu bar and wallpaper.

I actually just checked some different wallpapers and they may actually removed it altogether... kind of hard to tell though.

And the dock preferences.

Well I was basing what I said on older images of Yosemite so it may have been changed.

Is anyone else experiencing the disappearing Notification Center icon?

If I haven’t accessed NC for a period of time, the icon disappears from the Menu Bar. If I click on the space where the icon is (supposed to be), it opens NC, and the icon is restored for a period of time... until it disappears again.

Anyone having an issue with Word on DP7? I cannot use "Save As", there is nothing there for me to type in.

Hi everyone, I did some screenshoot of Mavericks and Yosemite icons extracted from /System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle.

The screenshoots are about folder icons, sidebar icons and other changed icons of the OSes and the icons are equal aligned from screenshoot to screenshoot for easy comparison.

I hope you enjoy it

And sidebar icons..

A comparison between Finder sidebars in Mavericks and Yosemite with small, mid and big icon sizes.

big sidebars

Its a bug, with certain apps, i think will be patched in the future for the developer or Apple

Not sure if this has been discussed, and I couldn't find anything on search...

Is there any specific reason I can't add network volumes under Devices on the Finder sidebar anymore?

Thanks. For the most part, I think they're all an improvement but I do think that Mavericks Caution and Alert icons actually suit Yosemite more than their redesigns do.

Edit: Hmm, maybe not.

I hate to start this again, but please stop using this thread for bug reports, there are threads SPECIFICALLY for bug reports...

Please, use that thread instead of this one, because this thread will not help you get your answers.

Correct graphics card showing.

In Mavericks the mid spec 15" retina with the 2gb card still shows Iris Pro under graphics in about this Mac. On Yosemite it shows the 2gb Nvidia.

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.

Seconded.

Has anyone figured out a way to change default behavior for clicking the green stoplight / maximize button? I want to change it back to the old way where it maximized rather than went full screen.

I'm aware of clicking while holding down option, but I don't want to have to do that. I'd rather have them the other way around.

----------

Also I've noticed when plugging Thunderbolt Display and External Speakers (into Headphone jack on MBP), sometimes audio defaults to the TBD and sometimes it defaults to the headphone jack/external speakers.

A simply unplug of speakers, and replug in fixes it -- but it's still annoying.

It has been mentioned before that you can now double click the title bar of application windows to maximise the foreground window. Might not be the ideal solution for you, so you may want to submit feedback to Apple as I am sure others have.

That's because it displays whatever graphics card OS X is currently using. Maybe you have an app open that turned the dGPU on or maybe you have it turned on by default. It was the same in Mavericks.

Finally you can close a tab in Safari by middle-clicking anywhere in the tab. This is good.
