Really? That blows. I could have sworn at WWDC they showed a Dark Mode Safari and Finder.

PB4, iOS 8.0.2 iPhone 6 Plus. Texting doesn't work, haven't tried phone calls yet. I can pickup apps I'm using on my iPhone in the dock however.
iOS 8.1 brings SMS handoff
It looks good but it will never replace Mac OSX
Seems prudent enough. You didn't mention iOS, so perhaps you don't have any devices that are running iOS, or you are also running an older version of iOS. In those cases none of the Continuity features would be available to you anyway.I'll probably jump on the band wagon at 10.10.5
It's been real entertainment to read these forums, seeing the angst and pain everyone suffers going through the .0 to .4 iterations.
I got burned with Leopard (10.5) - I installed it on day-one, and spent 4 hours with Apple Help line trying to salvage my photos from the dead Mac.
With Snow Leopard -- which everyone reveres as rock solid -- they forget that Snow Leopard, for me at least, didn't really get rock solid with Apple Mail until 10.6.6, and attained its legendary status for stability by 10.6.9. I installed SL at 10.6.4 and had some teething problems until it got to 10.6.6
So for Lion I waited it out till 10.7.4 and it was rather trouble free. I watched from the sidelines as people tore their hair out sorting out bugs in the .0 to .3 releases.
For Mountain Lion, same. I jumped in at 10.8.4 when things were fairly good. Right now, ML for me is rock solid.
For Mavericks 10.9, I never installed. Same as ever, there were claims it was stable from Gold Master, but the inevitable bugs in Apple Mail only became widespread when it went public. From reading reports, I'm not convinced Apple Mail in Mavericks 10.9.5 has been totally fixed for Gmail IMAP. Notionally, I would be willing to take a risk with Mavericks if its features were compelling, but there is nothing in Mavericks that attracts me.
I think I'll wait it out till 10.10.5 with Yosemite, and then come onboard. I think Yosemite looks cool.
Even if OSX is free, it costs me to upgrade because I have to pay for the latest update to VMWare Fusion, plus the possibility of having to re-install Windows 7 each time. So unless the OSX new features are really compelling, I tend to stay put for a while.

There are reasons why so many computers are still running Windows XP after more than a decade. Despite the fact that it's no longer officially supported by Microsoft, it basically works.
I have been running Final Cut Studio 3 (which includes FCP 7.0.3) successfully in Yosemite though there are a few interface hick-ups, particularly with the new fonts (try using Share). I was having problems with QuickTime 7 exports in the latest Yosemite until today's Gold Master update; if it really was broken it seems to have been resolved. No guarantees everything is solid but I have spent several hours working in most Studio apps. Note I have not done any capture from tape or output to tape (not in my day-to-day workflow) so no promises there.
Of note through most of the Yosemite versions Adobe Suite apps would crash when quitting (perhaps coincidence, maybe just crashing as they normally do). What I found incredible was Avid Media Composer 8.1.0 has been working for me in Yosemite. When is the last time Avid Media Composer worked in the current OS, never mind a Beta?
Your experience may vary. This is not my work computer but rather a personal MBP 17" early 2011. I installed Yosemite Beta on day 1.
I just updated to the Yosemite GM seed FCP7 still running. I'm beginning to think it'll never die.
Yeah a lot of people still use it. it's gonna be a few years. Rendering isn't great, but if you're using proxies, it works fine. Old, tested workflows die hard.
My Body is Ready
iPhone 6, 8.0.2 with Yosemite GM (build 14A379a) I no-longer have the dock icons for anything on iPhone nor the other way around, the phone doesn't show mail/messages/safari etc for whatever's showing on the mac. That's true for both macs I upgraded.
What version is PB4?
Continuity has been broken for me for the last few updates. I'm not getting and calls or texts on my Mac at all. Wonder why.
you to need to update to iOS 8.1 b1 if you want SMS Forwarding to work again. Idk why your handoff has not been working that never stopped working for me; only thing that stopped working was SMS Forwarding which is part of Continuity and that happened on 9/11. However with yesterday and todays releases of iOS 8.1 beta 1 and os x 10.10 gm candidate 1.0 SMS Forwarding has its own UI under message settings and as you use your devices your iPhone asks for codes or maybe vice versa one will ask for a code you enter it and your good to go.
Ahh that must be it. Phone calls aren't working either, but other continuity features are working. Guess I'll have to wait until the next iOS update.
proof I'm not talking out of my ass. IDK if your familiar with downloading developer updates but iOS 8.1 beta 1 is out and is out there for D/L in ways i will not speak of. Or you could do what we do and pay apple their $99![]()
you need to update to iOS 8.1 beta 1
If Apple had planned Dark Mode properly, it would've been a "Theme Selector" instead of just toggling between normal and dark mode. Proper theme support would allow for deeper application integration. Oh well... maybe in 10 years...
