Apple Releases OS X Yosemite Developer Preview 6

"The System Preferences menu has a new look with new icons.
The battery looks different.
The Dashboard in Yosemite is now translucent.
There are new icons."​

Wow! I am just so excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A new look!
Jimmany!

Not.

I'm interested in real functionality, not cosmetics. They're as bad as the auto industry. Keep the basic machine the same. Do only functional improvements. Fix bugs. Stop the glimmer.

Sincerely, this has been the worst day for me as a developer since June 2.

I can't use Xcode 6 anymore. Xcode 5 is not backwards compatible with my storyboard apparently because of margin-dependant constraints (I made sure to uncheck that all the time). Older betas of Xcode 6 crash the simulator and crash when I open the storyboard, no matter if I use iOS 8 or 7.

I'd have to develop on my painfully slow MBP, which is still stuck on Yosemite DP4 because it has never detected an upgrade since then.

On top of that, no new iOS 8 beta, which has utterly buggy APIs. Not a bad day... :confused:

xcode 6 beta 6 has been reposted.
 
They reuploaded Xcode 6 beta 6, along with the new release notes.

Not too much new things in it apart from bug fixes. I was hoping for class variables for Swift.

I can't (so far) get it to actually run. A lot of icon bounces, asks me for permission to run file downloaded on the net, some more bounces, and then nothing. Will fiddle with it for awhile and see if I can resolve - had a similar problem with beta 5, if i recall correctly, but somehow I got that one working.

Update: a few tries force-quitting and restarting seemed to get it going. Now I can't get the simulator to launch... (more icon bouncing). Fun.
 
Ugly clock widget

I've been reporting the clock widgets in notification center as bugs that needs to be fix. They look sooo ugly. It needs to be upgraded to the beautiful clock widgets like the ones shown in the keynote. No bezels and much bright and clearer typography. Can everyone please report this to them so they can consider fixing it?

The very first thing I noticed is how off centered the date looks. I've been using my computer all day today and haven't noticed, maybe I'm just on alert after updating. Anyone on DP5 or PB looks this strange?

Have they fixed the iTunes Store preview play button that was very off centred
 
Not digging the notifications icon in system preferences. Too blank, I guess. I'll get over it though

I avoid storyboards and usually avoid the Interface Builder altogether. Even in Xcode 5, I've had nightmare situations with it. It's a lot of trouble for not much gain, and you have to do most of the customization in code anyway, so I'd rather have it all in one place

I've always been scared by coding UIs directly in code.
I mean, I don't use WYSIWYG editors for web designs, but for Apps, I wouldn't let go of it. Ugh, stupid dependencies.

Oh :/ Well good luck. I'm still not without problems; my Xcode sometimes says that the app can't be launched because the simulator is already running when it isn't, and I have to force quit then reopen Xcode to fix it temporarily.

Valid point. However, for design enthusiasts like me, I appreciate form and function equally.

Apple's attention to detail, both visually and functionally, makes me happy. :)

I'll do it for you buddy!
 
Apologies for asking this, but it's been a pain in the arse Googling this because it just comes up with 'unlock dark mode' posts, but;

Do we still have a Graphite mode in Yosemite? i.e. can I get rid of the traffic lights as I have for the last > decade?
