Hi, this is Gary with MacMost.com.
Today let's take a look at the fresh, new design of macOS Big Sur.

So the design in Big Sur is a big change from macOS Catalina.
As a matter of fact I think it represents the single biggest design jump in any version
of macOS.
Most of the functionality is the same although there are a new things, like Control Center.
But the buttons look different, the icons look different, the colors, the fonts, everything
is a little different.
I'm sure different people are going to feel differently about it.
I could show you a bunch of this and talk about each design element.
But I think it really speaks for itself.
So here's a look at many of the design elements in macOS Big Sur.
While you're watching keep in mind that we're only at Beta version 1 right now.
So things are likely to change over the coming months before the release of Big Sur.

So I think that gives you the general idea of what Apple is going for.
We've got a Dock that floats above the bottom of the screen.
We've got different looking Tool Bars.
We've got different looking Sidebars.
Icons look a little different.
Most of this is definitely cosmetic as things work, kind of, the same way.
The big exception to that is Control Center which I think will help us cleanup our Menu
Bar items at the top right and make it easier for new Mac users to be able to find various
controls.
It will be interesting to compare this preview that we have here in June with the final release
of Big Sur probably in September or October of this year.
