Post all of your OS X Yosemite screenshots here!

Two things:

1. File is attached.

2. If anyone else has any HD wallpapers with a black Apple logo on a black background please post them as I am always on the hunt for something better.

Thanks

Tha attached wallpaper is awsome! Thank you very much!
 
Another plea for shots to show how Yosemite appears when apps are actually used

… since this tread specifically asks for "Yosemite" screenshots, I think you should oblige.

Sorry. I do wish for shots to convey a sense of how people use Yosemite; a few other readers have the same wish.

Why so few apps, so few windows?

There's more to an operating system than desktop backgrounds (especially desktop backgrounds that are not integral to the system).

Please, let's see some shots of multiple apps on screen; multiple apps without Mission Control. If some of those apps have multiple windows, even better.

… There are umpteen web sites, umpteen other topics, that are intended for wallpapers.

Thanks …

Myriad lovely desktop backgrounds, but what good is a desktop background when windowing is a mess?

I strongly suspect that some of the changes to the UI were bulldozed through.

Realistic shots – more about the operating system's presentation of multiple apps, than about wallpaper – will be appreciated.

Hint: you can use Preview to select then cut, from a shot, any part that should not be shared publicly.

Any combination of apps. Your choice :)

Realistic, everyday uses of the Mac that are not polished with other observers in mind. I'm more interested in realism than in tidiness-for-publication.

(The default and dark appearances of the menu bar and Dock are already well-known. A majority of screenshots give no sense of what it's like to really use Yosemite.)

Thanks …

Trying to go for a more minimal look compared to my past desktops.

Here is a screenshot from my Vivobook X202E. I've been lazy and haven't upgraded to 10.10.1 yet. Now that DockMod works with Yosemite and has the option for a 3d dock with reflections, I'm very happy with the way Yosemite looks. I know, I didn't cross out my serial number. It's fake anyway, so whatever.

Very interesting, I like the ark dock icons...that said, would you be so kind to post the DockMod settings that you are using as I may need to give this a whirl.

Thanks..

I just set everything to black adjusted the opacity to like 80% or so. I made the edge more of a gray color. I also turned the icon reflections up as they aren't get visible by default. I'll check my actual settings later.

Great, look forward to getting the actual settings as it will save a lot of trial and error time...much appreciated...

Curious, i) how do you get it to switch and ii) what definition of daytime and nighttime do you use...

I let F.Lux activate the Dark Theme after sunset and until sunrise (it figures out the correct time depending on your location) . Additionally i have an AppleScript running in the background that has the option to 'stay open after run handler' enabled and uses ASOC to watch out for the systemwide theme change notification, so that I can set the appropriate desktop background (plus appearance and highlight color) whenever that happens:

Code: 
use framework "Foundation"
use scripting additions

property picturesFolder : POSIX path of (path to pictures folder)
property picturesNighttime : {picturesFolder & "DSC_0004_2.JPG"}
property picturesDaytime : {picturesFolder & "DSC_0034.JPG", picturesFolder & "Rainy_Blue_Ridge-27527.jpg"}

my themeChanged:(missing value)
tell current application's NSDistributedNotificationCenter's defaultCenter to addObserver:me selector:"themeChanged:" |name|:"AppleInterfaceThemeChangedNotification" object:(missing value)

on themeChanged:theNotification
	try
		tell application "System Events" to tell appearance preferences
			set {newColor, desktopPictures} to {blue, picturesDaytime}
			if dark mode then set {newColor, desktopPictures} to {graphite, picturesNighttime}
			set {highlight color, appearance} to {newColor, newColor}
		end tell
		tell application "System Events" to tell the first desktop to set picture to some item of the desktopPictures
	end try
end themeChanged:

on quit
	tell current application's NSDistributedNotificationCenter's defaultCenter to removeObserver:me
	continue quit
end quit

Appreciate this...will try it out over the weekend and let you know what happens...

One follow up...I am rather new to AppleScript so would appreciate more details on how you load the script, how you keep it running in the background and how, if necessary, you stop it...thx again..

I have gone for a clean and simple look which to me is very appealing in dark mode...one nice thing about this is that this wallpaper looks great on *both* my iPhone and MBA...tell me what you think...

Any chance you can provide me with a copy of your wallpaper for my MBP?
