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 10 has some icons that are very clear like the internal drive while on Vista and Windows seven looks more like an external drive.When it comes to beauty and form, both the Mac OS and Windows seven 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 clearly convey a message of what they signify. Some of the key differences between the 2 start if you look at the folder icons. While they both use folder shapes, Windows seven sticks with the more traditional yellow color which is closer to their real-world opposite numbers. Mac OS elects to employ a dotted blue color which more resembles a recycled paper than traditional file folder. This change took place in Leopard and was met up with some criticism.
Folder types are also different from Windows 7 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 seven icons were introduced with Vista and many carry over to Windows 7. On the other hand Mac OS 10 has some icons that are awfully clear like the internal drive whereas on Vista and Windows 7 seems 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 stuff 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 a couple of icons with a more recent style that steps away from the glassy look. One of them is Wordpad which in Windows seven follows a completely different style. Also in Mac OS X, the TextEdit icon has text which ran in the'Think Different' TV adverts which Apple did in the latter 90s. There are plenty more icons that have this playful touch than in Windows that has been known to present business like, utilitarian icons which have carried over into Windows 7. Mac OS icons are known to have a more inventive bent.
This, naturally, is explicitly tied to the branding of each operating system : Windows is business-oriented and Mac OS is more artistically driven and private. While this isn't engraved in granite, it is something which has been long known in the industry. The practical approach to icons is more obvious in both systems System Preferences and Control Panel sections. The icons on both systems obviously convey their meaning without any room for confusion. These 2 sets of icons while interesting serve that purpose. Hopefully, the way icons are rendered in Windows seven will change with the next upgrade. They're currently in .ico format which isn't the quickest to handle inside .exe and .dll files.
