Apple Releases OS X Yosemite Developer Preview 6

[oatman13]

did they change the volume and brightness back or make it trans? please report back



also the hdd icon which is SO old!

Yea the volume and brightness is translucent again. However it still doesn't play an audio hint of the present volume as it's changed.

I didn't like this new update :/

New control panel/sys prefs icons.

Sadly, not a fan of the new changes. Some of their old icons (i.e. General, light bulb, extensions) were pretty decent. Oh well, I'm over it. I probably won't notice it after today anyway.

Only if you explain yourself your opinion could become valid.

it's now disabled by default, tho can be enabled again via Sound menu.

Great! That second one is the one I've wanted since the beginning.

 

[Mr. RPG]

Any changes to dark mode?

Question...if I download the Developer Preview installer from the App Store, will that allow me to install DP1, or DP6? I was previously registered as a dev, had to reformat my Mac and went with the PB. But I'd like to upgrade to DP6 if possible...

Basically, will it want to install DP1, or DP6?

 

[MrLoL]

Handoff still doesn't work.

 

[Watabou]

They also tweaked the Spotlight window. Pressing command now shows a dark mode style path bar at the bottom.

 

[darkweather]

any improvement for dark mode? (blured fonts etc.)

Ah you're right! Plus it makes a new sound now!

I don't like the design, it looks so simple and cheap. The old "metallic" design is much more pretty to look at

Is there any way that you can post the new wallpapers for those of us on the lame Public Beta?

And have the Dark Mode fonts been fixed for a cMBP? Currently they are HORRID on the PB,

 

[smokesletsgo]

How about Mission Control, Stacks animations? Are they any smoother in DP6?

New brightness and volume toggle HUDs in #beta 6?? hard to tell

That's new. They were transparent before, but not that much.

 

[oatman13]

The animations are running A LOT smoother on my 15" Retina.

Is Safari better than before?

DP6. If you are a dev you can get a direct link for DP2 but I don't know if it will work on DP6. See the developers forums for a link.
