Mac OS - Snow Leopard Versus Windows 7 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 appears 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 standard yellow color which is nearer to their real-world opposite numbers. Mac OS elects to use a dotted blue color which more seems like a recycled paper than traditional file folder. This change occurred in Leopard and was met 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 choosing an emblem sticking out of the folder. This sticking out blob of the side of the folder makes it more difficult 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 seven. On the other hand Mac OS ten has some icons that are awfully clear like the internal drive whereas 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 can still see stuff 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 7 has continued the glass-like style which it debuted in Windows Vista, there are also 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. Too in Mac OS X, the TextEdit icon has text which ran in the'Think Different' television advertisement which Apple did in the latter 90s. There are many more icons that have this playful touch than in Windows that has been known to present business like, practical icons which have carried over into Windows 7. Mac OS icons are known to have a more creative bent.
This, of course, is firmly tied to the branding of each O. S : 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 practical approach to icons is more clear in both systems System Preferences and Control Panel sections. The icons on both systems obviously convey their meaning without any room for misunderstanding. These 2 sets of icons while interesting serve that purpose. Hopefully, the way icons are rendered in Windows seven will change with the following upgrade. They're currently in .ico format which isn't the easiest to handle inside .exe and .dll files.
