Mac OS - Snow Leopard vs 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 ten has some icons that are extremely 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 7 icons are running neck in neck. If you compare 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 7 sticks with the more traditional yellow color which is closer 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 occurred in Leopard and was had a meeting with some feedback.
Folder types are also different from Windows seven 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 difficult to see what the folder means like it probably did in the days before Leopard which was essentially better 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 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 trash 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 also are a couple of icons that have 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' TV advertisement 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 artistic bent.
This, of course, is directly tied to the branding of each O. S : 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 practical 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 confusion. These two sets of icons while engaging serve that purpose. Hopefully, the way icons are rendered in Windows seven will change with the following upgrade. They are now in .ico format which isn't the easiest to handle within .exe and .dll files.
