YOSEMITE MAC OS REVIEWS WINDOWS
Some will miss the drop shadows that surrounded windows in previous designs or the thin outlines around the dock, say. It all looks pretty appealing, though it's at its best on a Retina display where the extra detail makes it all the more detailed and precise. Now it's a 2D grey oblong and translucency is reserved for the rubbish bin icon which is no longer the mesh bin effect of previous versions - Microsoft had one of these gleaming models years ago, but this one looks great.Īnd the iTunes icon is now red, to match the one found on the iPhone. The application dock at the bottom of the screen no longer resembles a translucent 3D glass shelf on which the apps perch.

So the calendar program icon has ceased to be the faithful reproduction of a tear-off date block, complete with curling-edge pages. The font used for file title bars and pretty much everywhere else has switched to Helvetica.Īnd there's been a marked move to the simpler, layered quality of iOS. This looks great but can result in some parts of a window being opaque and others partly see-through, which can be confusing. Now, there's greater translucency to drop-down panels to show the colours behind more clearly. And Yosemite has taken a lot of the design language from the handheld. It's all gone through the rigorous updating that the iPhone 5s went through last year with the move to iOS 7.

One of the most immediately striking changes in Yosemite is the OS design. This kind of synergy is brilliant, and requires the two systems to be in synchronised step. One of the stand-outs announced at the World Wide Developers' Conference in June was a system where you could start writing an email on your iPhone but then, when you realised it was going to be something of a magnum opus, carry on with it seamlessly on your Mac - whether it's an iMac, MacBook Air or MacBook Pro. Perhaps we can expect new features to launch on both phone and laptop almost simultaneously.
YOSEMITE MAC OS REVIEWS UPDATE
The two separate systems now overlap so much that it makes sense to update them both at the same time. And since last year OSX has had an autumn update, too.
YOSEMITE MAC OS REVIEWS SOFTWARE
Apple users are familiar now with the annual update cycle: the software for the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch are updated each autumn.
