Apple Releases OS X Yosemite Developer Preview 7

[ianKent]

Can't wait for dark mode in iOS 9

Would the dark mode increase battery life?

 

[Aluminum213]

It's ridiculous because I'm anxious to upgrade lol

 

[nutmac]

When is this being released to the public? 8 previews is ridiculous

The general consensus is 4th week of October, so we will probably get at least 1 more beta.

Do they need OLED screens for that?

 

[Erastopic]

Finders sidebar selection is now the same darker translucency which they included for Reminders, etc in DP6 and I like it more than the blue.

 

[fredr500]

Nda?

I don't understand how everyone can post screenshots and icons. I thought this was under NDA?

No, only if Apple started using OLED panels would this make a difference.

Apple Menu

When clicking on the apple, i noticed there's no option to check for software updates.

 

[WolfSnap]

Is it my imagination, or is the system font that's used in the menus a bit crisper and sharper in DP7 vs. DP6?

It feels cleaner and sharper for some reason.....

 

[lostpee]

hmm ... i can't seem to move/copy files inside finder after the update
finder just crashes every time i try
does that happen to anyone else?

 

[GoProDavidLe]

Is there anyway I can download Yosemite even though I don't have a developer account?

 

[Lunfai]

Can people show me their wifi icon? Mines changed to a bulky one and it looks off when compared to the other icons.

 

[SMIDG3T]

Nice! Hoping for iOS update soon too.

Are you serious?

The event is only 7 days away now, we'll see iOS 8 GM on that day.

Good catch. I guess, updates will be indicated via badges next to the "App Store..." menu item.

I think you're right. I looks different.

Next month.

You can get PB2 instead if you are not a developer: https://appleseed.apple.com/sp/betaprogram/

THE NDA terms allow this, read the NDA. Even if it didn't allow, you think people would be compliant? lol.

 

[macintoshmac]

The screenshots posted by early downloaders suggests the font has changed for the better (IMO). I am still downloading... I like what I see so far!

 

[petvas]

Installed it, everything seems ok. Time Machine is usable again (had issues before).
The new icons look nice too.
Sharing to Facebook and Twitter also works.

 

[rorschach]

Is this new? Preview column in Icon View:

 

[LukasValine]

Huh. I wonder why disk utility doesn't adopt the new SSD icon used for the root directory in finder. It still looks like an old HDD.

Been there for a while.

Thank you! Is it safe to say I can overwrite my current OS or should I create another partition for this PB.
