Mac OS - Snow Leopard Versus Windows Seven Icons
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 terribly clear like the internal drive whereas on Vista and Windows seven 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 signal. Some of the key differences between the 2 start if you look 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 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 choosing an emblem sticking out of the folder. This sticking out blob of the side of the folder makes it more complicated to see what the folder means like it probably did in the days before Leopard which was essentially simpler to tell one from the other.
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 extremely clear like the internal drive whereas on Vista and Windows 7 appears more like an external drive. Windows doesn't lose 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 rubbish 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 also are one or two icons possessing a more recent style that steps away from the glassy look. One of them is Wordpad which in Windows 7 follows a very different style. As well , in Mac OS X, the TextEdit icon has text which ran in the'Think Different' television adverts which Apple did in the latter 90s. There also are many more icons that have this playful touch than in Windows which 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, of course, is firmly 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 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 bafflement. These 2 sets of icons while fascinating serve that purpose. Hopefully, the way icons are rendered in Windows 7 will change with the subsequent upgrade. They're now in .ico format which is not the easiest to handle within .exe and .dll files.
