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 10 has some icons that are very 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 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 indicate. Some of the key differences between the 2 start if you look at the folder icons. While they both use folder shapes, Windows seven sticks with the more standard yellow color which is nearer to their real-world counterparts. Mac OS elects to use a dotted blue color which more resembles 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 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 actually easier to tell one from the other.
The new Windows seven icons were introduced with Vista and many carry over to Windows 7. On the other hand Mac OS ten has some icons that are very clear like the internal drive while on Vista and Windows seven looks more like an external drive. Windows doesn't lose its older icons either. If you look in the icons, you can 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 seven has continued the glass-like style which it debuted in Windows Vista, there are a couple of icons possessing a more recent style that steps away from the glassy look. One of them is Wordpad which in Windows 7 follows a totally different style. Also in Mac OS X, the TextEdit icon has text which ran in the'Think Different' television which Apple did in the latter 90s. There also are many more icons that have this playful touch than in Windows that 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 creative bent.
This, naturally, 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 which has been long known in the bizz. 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 bafflement. These 2 sets of icons while fascinating 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 isn't the easiest to handle inside .exe and .dll files.
