Under updates I have DP 7, but under purchases I have PB3. Presently on PB2.
I was going DL full PB3 anyway, but still weird...

Another poster wrote that he downloaded "DP7" when he really needed PB3, but as it turns out it is in fact PB3, so no worries. They just named it wrong.

thank you.
menu.
Besides dark mode, reduced transparency, increased contrast, etc? Not sure if you are unaware of what is actually in yosemite or if you don't understand the word "nothing".
Overall, this update runs smoother than previous builds and the text is more readable on non-retina Macs.
Hovever, this new version of Safari (although snappier in my system) has enabled the favicons by default. I don't like them.
Do you guys know a way to turn them off?
Thanks!

Not having any issues in that regard, just replied to an email and it sent with no issues.
Noticed a few things though on my 15" 2012 Retina MBP.
Opened Photoshop CC2014 and the system locked up, could move the mouse cursor but that was it. Forced a shutdown and when it restarted had a message that the graphics adapter had encountered a problem. Used gfxCardStatus to switch it to discrete only and that seemed to clear it up so think it was a problem with the Intel HD4000.
Boot screen is back to grey and no longer black with a white Apple, it is a shame as I prefer the black boot loader.
About this Mac - Storage is completely messed up, I don't even keep my photos on my SSD as I have a Transcend JetDrive Lite 350.
It's actually Public Beta 3, on par with Developer Preview 8. It's not a DP7 link, although, for some users like me, it says it is. Just a weird naming issue in the Mac App Store.
Dark video, light wallpaper:
Really not that big of a deal, people.
The translucency effect grabs whatever colors it's directly floating on top of, as well as some color from whatever the desktop wallpaper is and combines them together (see below). If the window is floating on a a white background, you'll still get your wallpaper slightly shown through. I like it, mostly because my wallpaper is almost always covered by windows.
This one's looking pretty final and stable - they've fixed the bugs with messaging directly from Safari/notification bar. And airdrop seems much slicker now along with a few other minor improvements.
No doubt there will still be some bugs but this is looking pretty good to me.
Oh and proper mirroring (i.e. like dual display on airplay)

What are your guys' opinions on installing DP8 as the main OS? Is it stable enough for daily use? Have you noticed any 'show stoppers' in terms of bugs?
FYI I am very much aware of the risks associated in installing OS previews and have no qualms in troubleshooting here and there. I am likely going to update to DP8 when I receive my iPhone 6 on Friday and just wanted to ask about the general use of DP8 to see if it's worth updating yet.

Where do you develop software, and in what environment do you code?
Also, please list the operating systems you have created.
I'm not seeing this in DP8, unless it only changes to bars when the battery level is low?
The last DP was good enough to be honest, I can't imagine this one will introduce too many new bugs but that said it's a bit early to tell.

I actually had the same issue but a format reinstall fixed it!
