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 ten has some icons that are extremely clear like the internal drive whereas on Vista and Windows 7 looks 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 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 signify. Some of the major 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 opposite numbers. Mac OS elects to employ a dotted blue color which more looks like a recycled paper than standard file folder. This change occurred in Leopard and was met 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 previous opting for 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 basically better 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 whereas on Vista and Windows seven looks 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 rubbish 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 also are several icons that have a more modern style that steps away from the glassy look. One of them is Wordpad which in Windows seven follows a very different style. Also in Mac OS X, the TextEdit icon has text which ran in the'Think Different' TV advertisement which Apple did in the late 90s. There are 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 inventive 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 private. While this isn't engraved in granite, it is something which has been long known in the business. The practical approach to icons is more apparent in both systems System Preferences and Control Panel sections. The icons on both systems clearly convey their meaning without any room for confusion. These 2 sets of icons while interesting serve that purpose. Hopefully, the way icons are rendered in Windows 7 will change with the following upgrade. They're currently in .ico format which is not the easiest to handle within .exe and .dll files.
