Well I don't mind the new icon, just miss the glow. But you should file a bug report/feedback. Maybe if more people than just me ask, they'll add it back.
Got a tip for us?

I can't believe neither Mac OS nor Windows had tabs in the file browser until now. I've been wanting this forever.

UGH, they still have the generic Finder sidebar icons. The grey is ugly, but the really bad part is that when I add my own folders to it with different icons, I can't see the icons and have to look for them 3X as long to find them. This has been bugging me really badly since I updated to ML. At least give us an option.
There's a tweak called TheCure or something that fixes this, but it's labeled as not-very-stable. In my case, it makes Finder hang for a while whenever I resize a window.

I'm not really crazy about a tabbed finder. I would have preferred panels, like in KDEs Dolphin.
Some of the performance things were interesting. From what I understand, they're going to improve inactive RAM. I've been having issues with VMWare Fusion causing the system to create GBs of inactive RAM and chew up all of my free RAM down to 20MB, making the computer slow to a crawl.
My personal theory on this: It got too close to an existing patent, and lawyers had their say.
But ya, that's my single biggest gripe with Notification Center. You have no clue there's any notifications in it.
Green and Blue and White? Those ARE the Dallas Mavericks colors...you know that???
EDIT: Well, I just pulled this up...this site seems to think the "Mavericks" name comes from a popular surfing spot in Northern California, and it's named after a German Shepherd, hence, a dog name:

Can anyone verify this? For certain? I am still convinced with these colors it has something to do with the Dallas Mavericks. The only hint on "surfing" from the promo graphic is the wave.
Watch the Keynote.
Basically, all future OS X releases will be named after places in California.
Once i installed mavericks preview 6, i did repair my disk utility, no scrolling glitches so far, i know exactly what you mean.
Did you ever notice or think about why the official OSX 10.9 Mavericks wallpaper is massive huge Wave? ......
I've done THE WAVE at sporting events, even a few Mavericks games, but I certainly have never heard of this place called "Mavericks" that Apple is supposedly referring to here. Must be a secret place or something, or I am not in California, thus "out of the know." I'm not "cool" like that.
It was pointed out during the keynote.

"Announcing the new OS, Craig Federighi, Apple's senior vice president of Software Engineering, said the name was a tribute to "those places that inspire us here in California". " The movie "Chasing Mavericks" features this location.
Maps app....so many times i tried to do business searches and no results google maps everything is found....I could really wreck up some serious miles using apple Maps by going to businesses that were just around the corner and it didn't show instead one 15 miles away.... i want to like apple maps but it just can not be trusted
I'm going to buy a haswell 15 rMBP when they are released. I look forward to the graphics improvements. The current rMBP and Mountain lion just bugs the hell out of me.
The new naming convention for OS X major releases from 10.9 onwards was a subject of the keynote when Mavericks was first introduced at WWDC. You're lack of being "in the know" has no bearing on it whatsoever.
To be more "in the know" regarding Mavericks, the location: http://bit.ly/19yETcf
Don't know. But I'm already not liking DP6. It broke my airplay mirroring. All I get now is a black screen on second monitor.
So it's back to using airparrot for now (and thank goodness it works with mavericks).
Hope they fix this in the next DP or GM.
I'm also thinking that if they don't fix it I'll just downgrade back to DP4.
