Mac OS - Snow Leopard Versus Windows Seven Icons
The new Windows 7 icons were introduced with Vista and many carry over to Windows 7. On the other hand Mac OS 10 has some icons that are terribly clear like the internal drive while on Vista and Windows 7 seems 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 obviously convey a message of what they signify. Some of the major differences between the two start if you glance 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 counterparts. Mac OS elects to employ a spotted blue color which more looks like a recycled paper than traditional file folder. This change happened in Leopard and was had a meeting with some feedback.
Folder types are also different from Windows 7 icons to Mac OS X with the second embossing an image on the icon and the previous opting for an emblem sticking out of the folder. This sticking out blob of the side of the folder makes it more complicated to see what the folder means like it probably did in the days before Leopard which was basically better 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 extremely clear like the internal drive whereas on Vista and Windows seven appears more like an external drive. Windows doesn't lose 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 trash bin is that on the Mac it looks expanded when full.
Windows seven has continued the glass-like style which it debuted in Windows Vista, there also are one or two icons possessing 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' television which Apple did in the latter 90s. There are plenty 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 inventive bent.
This, of course, is explicitly tied to the branding of each OS : 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 bizz. The utilitarian 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 bafflement. These 2 sets of icons while fascinating serve that purpose. Hopefully, the way icons are rendered in Windows seven will change with the subsequent upgrade. They're now in .ico format which isn't the quickest to handle inside .exe and .dll files.
