I know I can't avoid it forever ... maybe they will wake up and fix it in next major release. For now, there is nothing they have added that I *need*.

Still doesn't work for me. I am on Beta 4 and I want to transition to the Developer Previews. Is there a way to do that?

Looks good to me
It's obviously ones personal opinion but I like the new look a lot and I'm on a non-Retina Mac. I've been using it since DP1 and was initially against the traffic light buttons but I am used to them now and I think they may have improved slightly over time. My biggest gripe is with the drop shadow of the windows and this goes back to previous versions of the OS as well. It's too much, would be good if smaller but its no deal breaker. If the UI elements completely screwup usability then its a no no but thats not the case here.

Some animations are stutter/slow. 2013 rMBP 13". Anyone else seeing this? Particularly opening Safari. It stutters as it opens.

Yosemite kills some GPUs, AMD ones for sure
Needs to be 8.1 if you haven't figured that out. Works fine with that for me.

I was just pointing out to the person who was bitching about the previous icons that what goes around, comes around.

No problem. I only just found out about the Dark Mode and it's been there for quite a while, apparently

Sure, we'll stop the idle chit-chat just so the thread is easier for you to read.
Yeah. You can use this method to make the bootable installer for PB4: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/1757723/
The developer golden master candidate 1 is still not available as a full installer though.
But it has now disappeared from the mac dev center, so maybe they are going to release new redemption codes for a full installer of that soon too.

Eh. Still arbitrary. We've been acculturated by marketing to believe that anything that looks new is more "modern," when in reality it just looks different. This what makes the tail fins on cars argument so ironic. At one time they were marketed as the epitome of modernism. A few years later, it was some other gimmick. The long and short of this is, trendy gimmicks and surface design is not modernism. Changing how things work, making them work better, now that's the definition of modernizing. The rest is mostly gimcrackery.

I'm using rMBP mid 2014 and the up/dn sound is just fine. I did change the alert sounds though
Well most developers just got the delta update for the golden master. It's much quicker to download and install than a full installer.
But the golden master has now reappeared in the mac dev center and ios dev center.
You need to get a new code for it there and redeem it in the mac app store to get the full installer for the golden master.
This literally just happened a few minutes ago.
You will want to get the full installer if you want to make a bootable usb for the golden master which you can do with these instructions: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/1761645/

Odd behaviour of Software update.
I waited a bit before I wanted to restart through notifications, but it disappeared, then pushed the button on update in Appstore, said "Available Updates have changed" in a box, when I pushed the "Show Details" button I got what you see down below in a screen shot, did this a few times and each and every time I get one more entry in "Updates installed...."
Bug
Doing it manually now.
Noticed this same stupid inaccuracy poop on the update summary page when iLife (P,N,K) was updated earlier this summer.
Per the page, Pages never loaded, but I can see it is in the latest level by checking within the app. Also if I install in one user name and look in another user name, the updated in last 30 days list only displays in the user account from which the update was made.
You're right! Thank you.
What's the expectation about this release? I'm tempted to install it on my office computer, but I'm hesitant if there are likely to be issues.
That's literally the definition of "modern".
adjective:
of or pertaining to present and recent time;
of, pertaining to, or characteristic of contemporary styles of art, literature, music, etc
You cannot directly download a GM version because a GM version has not been released. This is a GM Candidate. You must install DP7 and then upgrade DP8 and then the GM Candidate.

are you sure? I'm on beta 4, and iOS 8 and my 2011 MBP doesn't seem to be getting texts? Any advice?
Im on a 2011 MBP. You must update your phone to 8.1 Beta and your Mac to GM Candidate 1. There are new options to add devices to continuity.

Firefox had some weird things going on with their buttons in older versions. Maybe these may change in the next GM.

I just can't believe those separated back and forward buttons are making it into the final release. Why can't they look like this:
You actually use Safari?
Love Apple and OS X but Safari is the worst.
