Mac OS - Snow Leopard Versus Windows Seven Icons
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 terribly clear like the internal drive whereas 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 clearly convey a message of what they signal. Some of the key differences between the 2 start if you glance at the folder icons. While they both use folder shapes, Windows seven sticks with the more normal yellow color which is nearer to their real-world opposite numbers. Mac OS elects to employ a speckled blue color which more seems like a recycled paper than traditional file folder. This change happened in Leopard and was met up with some criticism.
Folder types are also different from Windows 7 icons to Mac OS X with the latter 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 actually simpler to tell one from the other.
The new Windows 7 icons were introduced with Vista and many carry over to Windows seven. On the other hand Mac OS ten has some icons that are very clear like the internal drive whereas on Vista and Windows 7 appears 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 seven has continued the glass-like style which it debuted in Windows Vista, there are several icons with a more recent style that steps away from the glassy look. One of them is Wordpad which in Windows seven follows a very different style. As well , in Mac OS X, the TextEdit icon has text which ran in the'Think Different' television advertisement which Apple did in the late 90s. There are also lots more icons that have this playful touch than in Windows which has been known to present business like, utilitarian icons which have carried over into Windows seven. Mac OS icons are known to have a more creative 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 private. 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 7 will change with the next upgrade. They're now in .ico format which isn't the quickest to handle within .exe and .dll files.
