Michal Ždanský Until now, Apple has released beta versions of both iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite on the same day, but this time, the new version of the upcoming Mac operating system is coming alone. OS X Yosemite is supposed to be released later than iOS 8, specifically in mid-October, but the mobile operating system must already be ready for the iPhone 6, which will be released in early September.
As in previous beta versions, the sixth developer preview also brings bug fixes and minor improvements under the hood. However, there are also some significant changes, mainly of a graphical nature. It should also be mentioned that this version is not intended for the public, or rather it is not intended for the public beta version that Apple opened for the first million interested parties. What's new in OS X Yosemite Developer Preview 6 is as follows:
- All icons in System Preferences have received a new look and go hand in hand with the new design language. Likewise, the icons in the preferences in the Safari browser have also changed.
- Added some beautiful new desktop backgrounds with photos from Yosemite National Park. You can find them for download <a href="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1932/8043/files/200721_ODSTOUPENI_BEZ_UDANI_DUVODU__EN.pdf?v=1595428404" data-gt-href-en="https://en.notsofunnyany.com/">here</a>.
- The dashboard has a new transparent background with a blurred effect.
- When starting a new system, a new window will appear for submitting anonymous diagnostic and usage data.
- The shape of the HUD changed again when changing the volume and backlight, it returned to the form of frosted glass.
- Application FontBook a Script Editor they have new icons. The first application also received a minor redesign.
- The battery icon in the top bar while charging has changed.
- Do Not Disturb has returned to the Notification Center.
Xcode 6 beta 6 was also released along with the new OS X beta version, but Apple pulled it not long after and only the current beta 5 is available.

And the current Xcode 6 Beta 5 doesn't work for most developers. A lot of people complain about it on the dev forum. Apple needs to scramble to fix this. Resp. fixed beta 6 and released it.
XCode 6 Beta 6 is now available, there was a problem in the app certificate signing algorithm.
So it's slowly taking shape. With each preview, more and more modified icons appear, speed improves. It just still seems so disjointed to me, as if they still don't know what to bounce back from.
What bothers me the most is that the system is relatively low-contrast in DOST places and the overall color is quite off :-/
Does handoff work for you?? Phone calls via MBA without problems, also sms. But handoff, continuity is not. Apparently it doesn't work when you have DP6 and Ios 8 beta 5. But it didn't work for me either with DP5 and Ios 8 beta 5 :(
They say the MacBook must have Bluetooth 4 or it won't work. It doesn't work on my late 2011 MBP either.
