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 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 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 signify. 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 traditional yellow color which is nearer to their real-world counterparts. Mac OS elects to use a speckled blue color which more looks like a recycled paper than conventional file folder. This change took place in Leopard and was met with some criticism.
Folder types are also different from Windows 7 icons to Mac OS X with the second embossing an image on the icon and the previous 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 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 extremely clear like the internal drive while on Vista and Windows seven appears more like an external drive. Windows doesn't dump 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 looks expanded when full.
Windows seven 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. Also in Mac OS X, the TextEdit icon has text which ran in the'Think Different' TV adverts which Apple did in the latter 90s. There are also lots more icons that have this playful touch than in Windows that 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 artistic bent.
This, naturally, is firmly tied to the branding of each operating system : 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 business. The practical approach to icons is more obvious 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 next upgrade. They are currently in .ico format which is not the easiest to handle within .exe and .dll files.
