Mac OS - Snow Leopard vs Windows Seven Icons
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 terribly 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 7 icons are running neck in neck. If you check 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 significant differences between the two start if you glance at the folder icons. While they both use folder shapes, Windows 7 sticks with the more standard 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 standard file folder. This change occurred in Leopard and was met up 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 former choosing 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 essentially 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 10 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 dump 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'is expanded when full.
Windows 7 has continued the glass-like style which it debuted in Windows Vista, there are a couple of 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 completely different style. Too in Mac OS X, the TextEdit icon has text which ran in the'Think Different' television which Apple did in the late 90s. There are also many 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 7. Mac OS icons are known to have a more creative bent.
This, naturally, 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 which has been long known in the bizz. The utilitarian approach to icons is more clear in both systems System Preferences and Control Panel sections. The icons on both systems clearly convey their meaning without any room for misunderstanding. These 2 sets of icons while fascinating serve that purpose. Hopefully, the way icons are rendered in Windows 7 will change with the next upgrade. They're currently in .ico format which is not the simplest to handle inside .exe and .dll files.
