Hopefully this feature will be brought to the desktop store in an update soon. With iOS 8, Apple started allowing developers to upload short video clips to demonstrate the functionality of their apps, but those previews are currently only available directly on an iOS device. One key feature does seem to be missing from the redesigned store: app previews. The “playing” indicator on music previews has been redesigned, though it doesn’t seem to work very well on Retina displays in its current form. This updated design doesn’t seem to have been implemented everywhere yet, as some pages (such as the gift card redemption screen) still use parts of the old design. In the case of the App Store this is useful for switching between iPhone and iPad apps, while the Podcasts side of the store allows you to decide whether you’d rather see audio or video podcasts (or both together). Some stores, such as the App Store and the Podcast store, have quick filter options at the top of the page that allow the user to quickly shift from one type of content to another. The sidebar itself has been flattened quite a bit ad the content has been slightly rearranged. The sidebar on the home page now features lighter typography that more closely blends in with the design of OS X Yosemite, and the font across the entire store has been changed to match the new look. Shadows and textures have been removed throughout the store, putting the content directly on a stark white or dark gray background. Download buttons have been reduced to simple outlines.
#COBOOK NOT IN SYNC TV#
Individual pages for albums, TV shows, and iOS apps have also been redesigned and now feature more iOS-like controls throughout. This new header can be scrolled horizontally using two fingers or even dragged around with a mouse.

The new storefront takes design cues from the iTunes and App Store home pages on iOS devices, featuring a flattened, side-scrolling carousel at the top of the page in place of the old “card”-style header. Apple has started rolling out a redesigned version of the iTunes Store for users running iTunes 12 less than a week ahead of what’s expected to be the launch of OS X Yosemite.
