'Elegant new design'...its BLOODY AWFUL looking!
And before you go on, yes I know its beta. I do like the look of Yosemite but yuck!
New dark mode checkbox.
I think now it's clear that dark mode will be limited to the dock & menubar.
Oh look, another complete redesign of iTunes...
Ugh. It's very clearly still iTunes, as we've known it. The massive overhaul of iTunes has to come eventually... Right?
The checkbox was there in the last beta too.
No, it's not the right time.
Public betas have to be released when the product is in its final state and there's no possibility that major bugs tarnish the reputation of the company. Apple is known for their quality so much that each time I tell someone that my iOS 8 beta has a bug and cannot do this and that, people go like "that's the problem with Apple" and I can't make them understand that this is a private beta. Imagine a public...

Any word on Xcode 6 DP4 ? I just lost my Developer membership 6 days ago, which means I can install Yosemite DP4 and iOS 8 Seed 4 legitimately through Software Updates, but I got no chance about Xcode.
For the Xcode 6 DP4, you can go here and download: https://developer.apple.com/swift/resources/
It shouldn't be needing any Developer memberships.

It was not a checkbox. It was a drop down menu.
And it said "Theme".
Now it's a checkbox and it just says "for dock and menu bar"

I don't think it's indicative one way or the other. Changing all the controls is a lot of work, and there was evidence that they were doing just that a few betas ago. Either they changed their minds, or it's just not done yet.
It's not a complete redesign. Just a new Yosemite skin, it works exactly the same.
iTunes release is like Safari, independent of OS. You'll get it on OS X and Windows alike.

That would be a real shame. I was really excited for the dark mode, but when limited to the dock and menubar it's just ugly. I'd really appreciate it if they could also add a dark tint to the transparent window chrome, at least.
I would guess in OSX 11, if there is an OSX 11. If I had to guess apple will stop their yearly releases to work on major overhauls?
Edit: I was wrong. Looks like Apple definitely changed their minds on this one...

Because it's red? round?
