Apple has released the sixth developer beta of macOS Golden Gate, also known as macOS 27. The update includes several visual enhancements, such as two new dynamic wallpapers featuring the Golden Gate Bridge, according to AppleInsider. These wallpapers are effectively video files, showing the bridge in daytime and evening views.
The beta also introduces redesigned traffic light window control icons, as reported by 9to5Mac. The new design resembles older Mac OS X systems, with more detail in each button. Additionally, the update includes changes to window shape consistency and a redesigned Preview app icon.
Other changes in macOS Golden Gate include design improvements such as improved Liquid Glass opacity, a slider for controlling transparency, and changes to shadowing, according to MacRumors. The update also brings a new Siri AI, a chatbot-style assistant that combines general world knowledge, personal data, and on-screen awareness to answer questions.
