In album view, when the window slides to reveal an album's titles, the background is now translucent, and no longer displays colors inspired by the album's cover...

translucent but still inspired by the artwork for me

There is still lag in animations in mission control. Hopefully that will be sorted out soon.

Thank goodness someone else addressed this. I'ts literally the only place where there's slugishness or stuttering. And it's also the only thing I use on a regular basis.
 
The calculator GUI has zero distinctiveness between numerical buttons and everything else. The plain flat perfect squares without spaces between them make each button blend in to the whole thing to an undesirable level. It all just looks the same. It's just awful. Worst calculator app GUI I've seen in a long time. It looks like the early 80s with sharper lines.

Apart from color and the numeric labels themselves. Take a look at your physical keypad right now, does it have to have different shapes to let you know that it is a numeric keypad? Think about it.

Looks like something out of Windows 8.1.
 
I'm still holding out hope that it gets re-instated, or some key combination/shortcut gets it back. Unlikely at the moment, it seems.

The setting under View is missing in iTunes 12, whereas it exists in 11. That's a good indicator...so far.

Anyone confirm that when you have multiple TV Shows, that each Season has its own artwork displayed - even though its group together as a show. I still hate it in the current iTunes, that a TV Show will display the "last" Season artwork overall, even if you click through the previous one. Biggest thing that annoyed me and hope it gets fixed with iTunes 12.

That would be a Negative, sir. In fact, when you click between different seasons, the color changes slightly (sometimes, and randomly) to do the color matching with the latest season artwork. Totally annoying to me as well.
 
There's also a new pref called Increase Contrast that makes the text a bit darker and the grey backgrounds a bit lighter, also some details like adding outlines around buttons. I like it. It also turns on the Reduce Transparency pref.
 
I signed up for the public beta for when it's released. Can anyone tell me how stable they normally are, and whether it would be OK to use on your primary laptop?
