I have some big nostalgia for that hero-banner image -- the pretty blue swooshes. I remember trying to replicate that style, watching hours of 3:2 480p tutorials in Paint.NET and Photoshop CS, so I could have the coolest signature in whatever php web forum I was haunting at the time...

    I know sometimes new designs need some time to "grow on you". I do not believe this is one of those times.

      It's painfully bad enough that I have to assume it will change before release.

        It could very likely be a placeholder.

        I know Apple can be pretty staid but for a beta I am assuming (and hoping) that they're taking the piss on that.

        I suspect that even if it wasn't intended to be a placeholder, after the reaction that icon in particular has gotten across the internet, it's a placeholder now. :)

      This one may grow on me, like a tumor.

    Yeah, I just got a call from the nineties about it... Guess what?

  What's with the spacing of the navigation on the left sidebar? I'm curious if that's just because the window was squeezed small.

  Holy cow! I've seen people complaining, but that is so much worse than I could have expected. So strange to come from Apple of all vendors.

  This is fairly obviously a placeholder image from a pre-release product.

An image that makes sense and a nice square-ish page makes more sense to me that scrolling forever (sometimes things scrolling over things) for like a handful of words.

I used the wallpaper that looked like this for years. I might give it a shot once again. Someone recently posted this archive of all past macOS wallpapers in 5K: https://512pixels.net/projects/default-mac-wallpapers-in-5k/ https://512pixels.net/projects/default-mac-wallpapers-in-5k/
