Mac OS - Snow Leopard Versus Windows 7 Icons
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 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 signal. Some of the significant differences between the 2 start if you look at the folder icons. While they both use folder shapes, Windows seven sticks with the more normal yellow color which is closer to their real-world opposite numbers. Mac OS elects to employ a dotted blue color which more looks like a recycled paper than conventional file folder. This change occurred 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 latter 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 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 10 has some icons that are very clear like the internal drive while on Vista and Windows 7 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 things 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 are several icons possessing a newer 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 which Apple did in the late 90s. There also are lots 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 directly 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 business. The utilitarian approach to icons is more apparent in both systems System Preferences and Control Panel sections. The icons on both systems obviously convey their meaning without any room for misunderstanding. These two sets of icons while fascinating 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 is not the easiest to handle inside .exe and .dll files.
