Apple Shares WWDC OS X Yosemite Video Highlighting Design Changes

[Alphabetize]

How's the stability in the DP? (more specifically related to any kind of data corruption, etc...)
I've loaded up Xcode 6, and iOS 8 from our dev account but haven't had the nerve to try OS X 10.10 yet.

The 10.10 Developer Preview is a fairly buggy, and I think your results may vary. So far it seems to be working pretty well apart from the Finder and Safari crashing more often. There are some small bugs here and there, especially with the newer features. So far my MacBook Air has been handling Yosemite very well I think. I'd install it on an external partition, or back up your files first before installing.

I thought it was Snow Leopard we all wanted back

Please remain civil, on-topic and take your racism elsewhere. Thank you.

The mail and preview icons are totally out of place.

Agreed, they stick out like a sore thumb because of the tiny photographic images that they use. I really hope they finally give all the icons a facelift to better match the new look of the interface.

I miss Tiger too

I have a friend who still uses it.

The Finder looks a bit too happy for me. On the Apple website it looks a bit sadder.

Yup, the Finder icon definitely need some work, along with several other icons. Let's hope those refinements are on the to-do list. The giddy-happy Finder looks too cartoonish.

The dock looks like Tiger. It's 2005 all over again.

In 3 years, they'll be briniging back the 3D dock and everybody is going to be psyched haha

Yosemite's design looks better than iOS 7/8. If iOS 9 or 10 looks more like Yosemite, I will gladly welcome it.

Agreed, what I don't understand is why OS X icons are still great looking with depth and textures and dimension while iOS icons are just flat simple looking things. OS X 10.10 is what I more or less envisioned when it was announced that iOS was being redesigned with a flat UI.

Personally I hope iOS 9 looks more like Yosemite. I think they did a great job with the updated UI, colors and all.

I like the way Safari Looks on iOS 7 and Mac OSX now.

 

[achtung!]

what about the time machine? how does this new look affect it?

I am trying to see if I can get the old Dock back, I don't favour the new 2D dock. I might have to copy the old Mavericks dock files and images and replace it with those in OS X Yosemite .

I'm sure it's as easy as replacing some image files...

So do I (Have a friend that uses Tiger). On an Intel MacBook even.

The video was nice. I love what they did with the window buttons.

By then it will be too late.

 

[mdridwan47]

just like iOS 7 the design grows on you after a while.

It really didn't.
But OS X Yosemite is much more beautiful than ugly iOS 7. Except for the folders.

Tiger is more stable than Snow IMO. Having said that, would I go back to either?

Nope...

That Finder icon is so cute!

 

[DavidBlack]

I tried replacing all the Docks resource files, but the only think that happened after I ran

killall Dock

was that the Finder Icon came back to the old icon.

Lol, maybe. Software does go through trends.

 

[n-evo]

Except it's not. The 3D effect is rendered by software. The resource images are 2D. Same goes for the shadow Dock icons cast on elements behind it. They're not actually included in the .icns files. Replacing Dock.app with an older version won't fly either as it's handling much more than just the Dock. You'll end up with a broken installation.

Personally I always thought Apple went overboard with the 3D Dock. Looks kitschy too.

Finder icon is happier

 

[dannyyankou]

Better?

 

[JOLoughlin]

If I wasn't sick of Helvetica before, I sure am now.

 

[Mactendo]

The result is something that feels trash...

 

[flottenheimer]

'Dark mode' screenshots wanted.
Anyone?

Try to restart.

It's not yet there. Only announced.

Hmmm, nice and all but, ahem, will it be stable, fast, and efficient like SL was? Remember SL people? That was the last truly functional and stable OS Apple ever produced.
