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 ten has some icons that are extremely 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 signal. Some of the major differences between the 2 start if you glance at the folder icons. While they both use folder shapes, Windows 7 sticks with the more normal yellow color which is nearer to their real-world opposite numbers. Mac OS elects to use a dotted blue color which more seems like a recycled paper than traditional file folder. This change happened in Leopard and was had a meeting 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 complicated 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 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 whereas on Vista and Windows 7 seems 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 looks expanded when full.
Windows seven has continued the glass-like style which it debuted in Windows Vista, there are a couple of icons with a newer style that steps away from the glassy look. One of them is Wordpad which in Windows seven follows a completely different style. Too in Mac OS X, the TextEdit icon has text which ran in the'Think Different' TV advertisement which Apple did in the latter 90s. There are lots 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 7. Mac OS icons are known to have a more inventive 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 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 obviously convey their meaning without any room for misunderstanding. These two sets of icons while engaging 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 simplest to handle inside .exe and .dll files.
