Mac OS - Snow Leopard Versus Windows 7 Icons
The new Windows 7 icons were introduced with Vista and many carry over to Windows seven. On the other hand Mac OS 10 has some icons that are terribly clear like the internal drive while on Vista and Windows 7 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 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 indicate. Some of the major 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 opposite numbers. Mac OS elects to use a spotted blue color which more looks like a recycled paper than conventional file folder. This change happened in Leopard and was met with some feedback.
Folder types are also different from Windows 7 icons to Mac OS X with the second embossing an image on the icon and the former opting for 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 seven. 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 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 7 has continued the glass-like style which it debuted in Windows Vista, there also are several icons that have a newer style that steps away from the glassy look. One of them is Wordpad which in Windows 7 follows a very different style. Also in Mac OS X, the TextEdit icon has text which ran in the'Think Different' TV which Apple did in the latter 90s. There also are plenty 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 7. Mac OS icons are known to have a more artistic bent.
This, naturally, is directly tied to the branding of each OS : 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 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 fascinating serve that purpose. Hopefully, the way icons are rendered in Windows 7 will change with the following upgrade. They're now in .ico format which isn't the quickest to handle inside .exe and .dll files.
