macOS Mojave developer beta 8 is now available for testing. As always, we’ll dig through the latest beta version and highlight all the changes between the first beta and the latest beta below.
macOS Mojave includes a system-wide dark mode; a new dynamic desktop wallpaper type; Stacks for organizing files on your desktop; a new Gallery view and Quick Actions in Finder; more actions available in Quick Look; new screenshot and screen recording features; Continuity Camera for snapping photos on iPhone for use on Mac; News, Stocks, Home, and Voice Memos apps; a new Mac App Store; and much more.
In beta 2-4, we saw these changes:
- Mac App Store can now be narrower now, ideal for smaller displays
- Maps now uses dark map in Dark Mode
- Apple highlights one bug with the new MacBook Pro modes: “On MacBook Pro with Touch Bar (2018) models, adjusting screen brightness settings might not take effect.”
- Second Dynamic Desktop wallpaper: Solar gradients
- Grab app replaced with Screenshot (opens new screenshot HUD)
- Loads of new traditional wallpapers following last beta’s new dynamic wallpaper, download here
- Home app removes existing wallpapers, now includes three color options
- Group FaceTime delayed :(
