Messages is one app arguably in desperate need of a complete overhaul but that sadly hasn’t arrived in El Capitan. You can also mute tabs that are producing noise, such as playing a video. Safari in El Cap borrows the pinned tab feature introduced by Google Chrome but, typically for Apple, implements it more sensibly by opening links you click in fresh tabs and thereby locking pinned tabs to the URL you choose. You’ll need to look hard to see changes in Safari although this is perhaps no bad thing considering Safari has nowadays matured into a solid browser. Curious! Core tools in OS X El Capitan vs OS X Yosemite Interestingly, some apps that aren’t compatible with fullscreen mode, such as Calculator, can be split-screened in El Capitan. Nevertheless banging the System Preferences window into the top of the screen will activate Mission Control in El Capitan, and this provides a neat little power user shortcut.

In both Yosemite and El Capitan some windows can’t be set to fullscreen, such as System Preferences. If you’ve embraced fullscreen working in Yosemite then this is clearly a useful addition but we doubt it’s going to tempt most people away from the traditional way of working with regular program windows. Safari and Calendar side-by-side in full-screen mode, for example, and each app is separated by a black bar that you can drag to adjust which app gets more screen space. Yosemite’s fullscreen mode is enhanced in El Capitan by the ability to run two apps side-by-side This replaces the thumbnail view in Yosemite although placing the mouse cursor in this area will still reveal the thumbnails. In El Capitan, Mission Control features a bar at the top of the screen that shows the names of the existing desktops/full-screen apps. Mission Control is very much Apple’s pet project for the desktop and every recent release of OS X has seen some degree of improvement.

Mission Control and full screen tweaks in El Capitan If you’ve used Full Screen mode in Yosemite then you’ll already have experienced this feature but now it can be used all the time to gain a precious few centimetres of desktop space. The El Capitan menu bar can now autohide via a setting in the General pane of System Preferences, in the same way that that theĭock can dive out of the bottom of the screen in Yosemite and earlier releases of OS X. Silent Clicking is a new feature on El Capitan when it’s used on a MacBook with Force Touch, and magically makes clicking virtually silent – but without compromising feedback Referred to as Silent Clicking, this somehow doesn’t compromise the degree of feedback, which is still handled via the Click slider. System Preferences to deactivate the click noise. The new cursor is also a lot easier to spot on a busy desktop.įorce Touch trackpad support was introduced with Yosemite and in El Capitan there’s an additional setting within the Trackpad pane of It’s a small but welcome tweak and – combined with the new system font – underscores the fresher, contemporary feel introduced with Yosemite. The colour pinwheel cursor that occasionally (cough, cough) appears to indicate OS X is too busy to interact with the user has been overhauled and given the same flatter yet colourful appearance as the new OS X look introduced with Yosemite. It exists solely to define the look and feel of Apple products. Apple’s hidden access to it (Īnd will continue to hide it) because San Francisco simply wasn’t designed for print/DTP use.
Incidentally, San Francisco is not available to use as a font in your documents – you won’t find it via the Font Book app or even in the system Fonts folder. We experienced nothing like this in El Capitan. Compare that to Yosemite: Since its introduction many Mac users have been painfully aware of lags and slowdowns, such as stuttering animations and network connectivity issues. On a subjective level it felt like El Capitan ran like greased lightning on ourĢ015 MacBook Pro. Our brief and very unscientific benchmark tests showed absolutely no performance difference between Yosemite and El Capitan, which is of course only a beta right now. We’re also aware that El Capitan a beta, so our results are unscientific at best, and the benchmarking apps haven’t yet been optimised for El Capitan either. GeekBench produced identical results on both operating systems – but we strongly suspect Apple’s achieving the claimed speed-ups by disk cache optimisation, and benchmarking apps are specifically designed to avoid taking this into account. Despite this Apple says that apps in El Capitan will load apps up to 1.4 times faster and switching between apps will be twice as fast.
