um, you're taking it a bit far there. Maybe try a different OS if this stuff blips your radar that easily.
I really don't think that list is too far off. I wouldn't be too surprised if most of them happen by the time the gm is out.
It's not unrealistic at all. I don't want a different OS, Yosemite is a great look. I just want them to finish what they already started.
Most things on my list is just about completing the look everywhere. Do you want an OS that looks like a mavericks and earlier/yosemite hybrid? New and old UI elements living together?
Would you prefer it if iOS 7 still had traces of iOS 6 and earlier in the UI? I definitely wouldn't.
I say if you go new, make everything new. That's all.
Mavericks icons in the preferences panels for example do not fit well visually with the lighter UI they made for Yosemite. They all have that glassy effect, they need to be lighter flatter.
It's the same thing with the iTunes icon on the dock, why are they going to change it? Cause it doesn't fit with all the new ones anymore. I hope they do change everything cause it's not a lot of work left. If they don't, they are just being lazy in my opinion.

Sure. Whatever.
I'm only saying WHY DO YOU CARE SO MUCH?!!
But, yeah, go ahead. Knock yourself out..
Looks like it was made ages ago...
Same here. Used Tiger 2-3 years ago as my main OS and a little more recently and really reminds me of Tiger.

I disagree that those listed are unrealistic. I, for one, would hate to have old, Mavericks-era icons littered around the OS. Apple is known for its' consistency, so they should go 100% and not leave little pieces of Mavericks and older around.
It's the same idea as Windows 98/XP/Vista icons still being around in Windows 8.1 - I don't want Apple to do the same thing, as they have always been good about making things consistent across the board.
The new Time Machine interface is ugly, bland, and boring. I hope they bring the awesome star effect back.
Okay so this is a tinny thing and I guess I could learn to live with it but would be great if it was removed.
Has anyone noticed how the corners of webpages are rounded off in Safari?

I agree that visually it does look nice to have the bottom of the webpages rounded off when in full screen, but not the top
Oh well thats just my $0.02
Well I have a similar concern. The edges in safari window are not streamlined with the rest of the system. See the image below:

- Bring back the "Arrange by"-options that vanished in 10.8 (or at least didn't function unless you knew the keyboard commands)
- Make the regular mode use slightly less bright colors as the choice of colors reminds me of why people hated iOS 7. As it stands now folders almost blend into the white background
- Move the Finder search box back to the upper right corner of the screen with the magnifying glass icon. It's idiotic that when you click something at the corner of the screen you have something else pop up in the middle of the screen.

- Change the folder icons
- Unify the Previous/Next button in Safari & Finder
- New drive icons, please ?
- Remove the menubar effect when changing the active screen. (You know, when all the menubar icons are removed and added back slightly more transparent so they look inactive?) It's so annoying.

Also, this. Even though I already made a tweak for it here
I don't think they gonna change that. Dashboard is on its way out, anyways.
If I could have just one thing fixed it would be the font, but this is a pipe dream. Apple isn't going to give any other options so non-retina users are stuck with it. Helvetica Neue simply doesn't look good on non-retina in numerous areas.
I also liked Spotlight being tucked away in the right corner instead of taking up screen space, but of course Apple will never change that.
I'm still conflicted about upgrading when it officially releases. I like certain things but absolutely abhor others. When you have to stare at your computer for multiple hours a day to get work done cosmetic changes can really get on your nerves.

Thanks! https://developer.apple.com/videos/wwdc/2014/ for any registered Apple Developer.
I sped through the 288-page PDF. There's the word Consistency, in that presentation, but too little consistency in Apple's delivery. Some things seem far less consistent in Yosemite than in Mavericks. YMMV.
Also, the phrase Content-Focused. A great idea, but I don't buy the idea that Mavericks prevented me from focusing on things. If I want to see less of the interface I simply go full screen, and so on.
I'll try to listen to the video (53 minutes) some time this week. In the meantime there's a transcript:

Completely agree. You basically just listed my wish list too. As it stands, the UI overhaul in Yosemite feels somewhat half baked. Many icons still carry the pre 10.10 design which makes for an inconsistent experience.
One thing I also think needs to be changed is the styling of the title bar buttons/fields for all apps. Such as the URL field in safari having the same visual appearance as a button.
Damn. Why not just leave it. I like my Dashboard stuff. Sounds like Apple is doing a twist on AOL News' way of introducing a new comments system back in 2010. The tech media reported then that AOL News posted a heads up for their members: "Valued AOL News members, we have heard your feedback and are shutting off our comments system as we work to improve the system for you." I don't know if it was bogus but it sounded about right, all things AOL (including membership) duly considered.
All well and good for some hokey comments system, big maybe, but not so great for Dashboard. What, now we will have to construct our desired constellation of apps on some launchpad page or something to approximate the Dashboard experience? What was wrong with having them just sit in Dashboard as they do now, ready to slide out and amuse or inform? I like my weather webclip for one thing.
Yeah, I know. The stuff is not being maintained by the developers any more so the widgets are a growing problem, right? Sigh... another thing to get over and move on from. OK, fine. But bring on the replacement stuff and let me stash it like Dashboard does now!
