OS X 10.10 Mockup Shows Off 'Flat', iOS-Inspired Design

I think there will be a problem if Apple name it 10.10. I never made an OSX app, but in iOS (and I believe Mac too) we often have to deal with different versions of the OS. One way to do it is by taking the version number and converting it to a real number (this is not a hack, it is encouraged by Apple engineers in developer conferences). So, if Apple release OSX 10.10, it will be converted to 10.1, bringing a lot of trouble to developers.

I could live with that, absolutely. I'd probably go with different colours, drop the stupid translucence and I can't see Helvetica Neue as a system font any longer, but I'd be okay with this. I don't know where the flat design hate comes from lately, for me it could be even flatter. But then again, I do graphic design, and flat is everything in graphic design.

If I want "flat" I'll go back to using Windows 3.1.
 
You guys are talking like this is the actual design. It's just a mockup. Chill. :D

That being said, this mockup looks way too much like Windows 7 with Aero, which is definitely not a good thing. It's the transparency that is the problem.

Sounds good to me. As long as they don't remove function. I like having the same look across all my devices. Just please don't make all the dock icons square

I feel about the same regarding form and function. I want to see more parity across the systems before any real worry about looks comes into play.

for example. Maybe iPhoto more like iPhoto on the Mac. And make it work with it. So you can make an album and it syncs to the computer. And have all the same edits. Okay so maybe the brushes thing doesn't really work on the computer as well by itself but what if you could sync up the two so you could see a photo that was on your mac on your iPad and brush that temp copy and it is changed on the computer.

They are text, not math
 
Hey guys!

I'm a self proclaimed "graphics designer" too! Just look at this awesome mockup I made of Mac OS X 11! It's so flat, cause flat is hip and cool! I've also taken the liberty of ignoring every single HIG guideline Apple has ever published, and made sure that my UI is impossible to differentiate on a white background! I R SO LEET! FEATURE ME ON THE FRONT PAGE PLZ KTHX!

Is it me or is continuing to have the "music" and "movies" folder pointless on OS X? I'm citing the fact that iTunes commandeer's the music and movies into it's own folder within the "Music" folder.

I'd like to see a iTunes folder already built it.

What if they go the other way?
Kill iTunes the App.
Create an API that allows Collection Management Apps work direct with finder to claim a folder and even control the interface.

So iTunes (Music) could become the Music folder. click the folder and you get views that look and act like the albums (grid), songs (list), Genres/Artist(Column) and coverflow.

Part of the API would be Player interface which would either dock into the finder window or float like the mini-player.
Also the API would allow a syncing app to plug-in.

Would seem to work for other things as well.
Movies,
Photos,
Dropbox, et al,

Even iDevices, not that they sync via itunes anymore anyway, could hook up to the side bar. Giving them an interface to files on the device by wifi or icloud.

would open up other kinds of finder helpers as well.
 
Let me get it straight - some guy draws up some totally arbitrary crude sketches of what he 'believes' OS X 10.10 will look like, MacRumours staff posts this as a newsitems (why??) and there is now a 6 page discussion about this? Amazing :D

P.S. I think they misunderstood something. This is clearly Windows 10, not OS X 10 ;)
