Another on my list of small niceties in macOS 27 beta: we have decoupled Show Borders from Increase Contrast for apps using the new design. This is great for people who just want a little more edge definition on UI elements, but don't want to jump all the way to the weighty color changes of Increase Contrast.

Fun fact: the "EnablePasteboardPrivacyDeveloperPreview" defaults flag on macOS doesn't just enable confirmation for accessing the clipboard, it moves the responsibility for an app's main menu from the app's own process into a separate system process (TrustedUIService). This means that the contents of the menus have to be serialized to be sent over XPC to that system process, breaking things such as custom SF Symbols in menu icons. I guess that's part of why it's still just a developer preview.
