Look and Feel
Perhaps one of the more striking changes in OS X Yosemite is the overall look and feel. Taking cues from iOS 7, the interface is cleaner with flat icons, slimmer toolbars and windows, and a system-wide translucency to provide clarity and depth. Here are the default screen view for Yosemite and Mavericks

The standard system menu font has changed from Lucinda Grande to Helvetica. This is proposed to be easier to read at different sizes/zoom levels especially on a Retina display.

Dark Mode is a way to turn the usual toolbar and Dock look from a light gray with black text into a darker gray with white text. This makes the toolbar, Dock, and Spotlight match the color scheme of the Notification Center. This can make the screen more comfortable to use in darker areas. Windows are still presented with light gray color. This can be access in System Preferences → General → Use dark menu bar and Dock
