Mac OS - Snow Leopard vs Windows 7 Icons
The new Windows seven icons were introduced with Vista and many carry over to Windows 7. On the other hand Mac OS ten has some icons that are terribly clear like the internal drive while on Vista and Windows seven seems more like an external drive.
When it comes to beauty and form, both the Mac OS and Windows 7 icons are running neck in neck. If you match them side-by-side, there are some differences of note, but the styles of the icons are both pretty and obviously convey a message of what they signal. Some of the key differences between the two start if you look at the folder icons. While they both use folder shapes, Windows 7 sticks with the more normal yellow color which is nearer to their real-world counterparts. Mac OS elects to use a speckled blue color which more seems like a recycled paper than conventional file folder. This change took place in Leopard and was had a meeting with some feedback.
Folder types are also different from Windows seven icons to Mac OS X with the second embossing an image on the icon and the former opting for an emblem sticking out of the folder. This sticking out blob of the side of the folder makes it more troublesome to see what the folder means like it probably did in the days before Leopard which was actually simpler to tell one from the other.
The new Windows 7 icons were introduced with Vista and many carry over to Windows 7. On the other hand Mac OS ten has some icons that are awfully clear like the internal drive while on Vista and Windows seven looks more like an external drive. Windows doesn't get rid of its older icons either. If you look in the icons, you'll still see things like the 3.5 and 5.25 floppy disk. Some differences with the rubbish bin is that on the Mac it looks expanded when full.
Windows 7 has continued the glass-like style which it debuted in Windows Vista, there also are several icons that have a more modern style that steps away from the glassy look. One of them is Wordpad which in Windows 7 follows a very different style. As well , in Mac OS X, the TextEdit icon has text which ran in the'Think Different' TV advertisement which Apple did in the late 90s. There are lots more icons that have this playful touch than in Windows which has been known to present business like, practical icons which have carried over into Windows seven. Mac OS icons are known to have a more artistic bent.
This, of course, is explicitly tied to the branding of each operating system : Windows is business-oriented and Mac OS is more artistically driven and personal. While this isn't engraved in granite, it is something that has been long known in the industry. The utilitarian approach to icons is more apparent in both systems System Preferences and Control Panel sections. The icons on both systems clearly convey their meaning without any room for bafflement. These two sets of icons while interesting serve that purpose. Hopefully, the way icons are rendered in Windows seven will change with the subsequent upgrade. They are currently in .ico format which isn't the quickest to handle within .exe and .dll files.
