1PW Posted July 22 ID:1650346 Share Posted July 22 (edited) For my 2021 MBP18,1, the automatic update (late Friday, 19-July) to the v5.4.1.1525 Premium Plus beta (from v5.3.2.1393) was itself unremarkable. 1. For curiosity's sake, I did a simple macOS 14.5 Sonoma restart and after the startup phase, the menu bar MB5 icon was a perfect white. (R: 255, G: 255, B: 255) If the menu bar background is still at default, the Mb5 icon is nearly undetectable. After selecting/pulling the new menu structure down, the MB5's icon changed to near black (R: 28, G: 27, B: 31) from its former user chosen blue color. The MB5 icon's color choice now seems absent from general settings. (The color's numeric values are expressed in “native” values.) 2. The threat scan speed seems acceptably unchanged if MB5's cache is replenished/updated. e.g., ~8 seconds versus ~2 minutes for an empty cache scan. I don't save old scan reports, but it seems that more objects are scanned now compared to v5.3.2. But this did not change my system's manual nor scheduled scans, and is therefore inconsequential. 3. Perhaps undocumented; if the user decides to have a Dock icon for MB5, that icon will show an upper-right red dot if the MB5 UI is open and an RTP feature is off. 4. If the user decides to show an MB5 icon in the menu bar, a superimposed active VPN icon is present, as already documented. If an RTP feature is off, the red warning dot is also present, but it eclipses a present VPN icon. However, IMHO this is minor. Congratulations to the team for this new release. Thank you, all.
