Yeah and that minor issue is surely something that will never be addressed throughout the entire beta.
Got a tip for us?

macOS Tahoe: All the Little Changes

I must be in the minority because I like the new look for the most part.
I’ll also get a good laugh in 10 years when I see people complain about the next visual change and start praising this one.

Hello windows 11 !They removed Compact tab and Launchpadpure functional downgrade.
(Honestly idc)
So let me see if I got it straight. In addition to increasing blank space padding, they also took away the Safari compact tabs layout, forcing an extra row with extra fluffy padding. Not great for small laptop screens is the most polite I can be.
I think my biggest hang-up with it is that I really really prefer the frosted glass look to the new clear glass look. It creates much smoother gradients that are pleasing to me. If I could just toggle that, I'd be a happy camper
One "little" change I detest is this. Tahoe defaults to turning on wifi, even if you don't have it on and are using ethernet instead. When this happens the computer does not connect when attempting to connect to the internet. You have to go and turn wifi off, then everything works correctly. The bigger issue is when I came back to the computer after it being asleep to find wifi turned back on. Same issues the re-occur. Wash, rinse, repeat. I am filing a complaint on "feedback Assistant" to report this.
Finder icon – Apple has flipped the color of the classic Finder icon in Tahoe. The blue is now on the right side of the face instead of the left, and it has been given a glassy cast in the Liquid Glass style.
Why?!?!
Why?!?!
Having seen many major and minor issues sail through betas without being addressed...
Gio, please clear that up for us!
I read your comment three times and still couldn't figure out — for sure — whether you were serious or sarcastic! Ben's comic captured the confusion well.
Gio, your post sounded sarcastic — in the sense that you dissing the seriousness of concerns over legibility — and asserting that no doubt such a “minor” issue would be addressed during beta development!
For many of us, illegibility due to colors shining through and background text being translucent and dirtying up the display is a *major* concern.
And, it seems Apple is so committed to its “Glass” look, that one figures they're unlikely to address it!

They need a 'turn off transparency completely because it makes for a harder to read interface in every situation' button.
I kind of agree. That was the pinacle of MacOS and Apple in general. After that is when we started seeing more and more useless features that end up slowing down productivity in many ways.
Because iOS7 DID make a mess of things. Change for the sake of change, and no, I don't think it was an improvement. All of the gimmicky stuff just makes the devices harder and harder to use. Just pay attention to how much people struggle figuring things out.I guess history does repeat itself because this is exactly what people including me said when they announced iOS 7, I guess let’s sit aside and let them do their job?
I wish Apple would offer a more retro 'easy' mode on their devices. Clean, simple interfaces, less options, less 'hidden' commands, etc.
Every year it’s the same. Can we not keep this thread to “little things” and not bugs or complaints?
Do you know for certain that the clipboard history is accessible on iOS/iPadOS? I've only see Apple demo the clipboard history on macOS. It is possible the Mac can access Universal Clipboard, but that iOS/iPadOS do not have the feature.
So many changes! Very happy with the update. Looking forward to trying it out on my Mac soon.
I haven't found a way to open any clipboard history on iPadOS. I did find out that text copied from my iPad eventually showed up in my MacOS clipboard history, but it seems like the entire MacOS history feature is being really finicky. Like, I've copied and pasted a few things and they still aren't in my history. I don't know what I am doing wrong.
