There was a lot to digest in yesterday’s keynote, so if you just want to get a quick feel for how things will look on your Mac when you upgrade from Mountain Lion, here are a sprinkling of screenshots to provide a taster …

In Safari, the curved-effect Top Sites has been replaced by a much plainer 2D one:

Mission Control loses the linen backdrop:

Launchpad folders are now semi-transparent:

System Preferences have lost the section labels (Personal, Hardware, and so on) and the labels have a slightly larger typeface:

Apple Maps now on the Mac:
