Mac OS - Snow Leopard Versus Windows 7 Icons
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 very clear like the internal drive whereas on Vista and Windows 7 seems 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 obviously convey a message of what they signify. Some of the key differences between the two start if you look at the folder icons. While they both use folder shapes, Windows seven sticks with the more normal yellow color which is closer to their real-world counterparts. Mac OS elects to use a dotted blue color which more seems like a recycled paper than traditional file folder. This change occurred in Leopard and was had a meeting with some criticism.
Folder types are also different from Windows seven icons to Mac OS X with the second 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 actually 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 10 has some icons that are awfully clear like the internal drive while on Vista and Windows seven seems 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 trash bin is that on the Mac it'is expanded when full.
Windows 7 has continued the glass-like style which it debuted in Windows Vista, there are also a couple of icons possessing a more modern 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' TV advertisement which Apple did in the late 90s. There are also 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 7. Mac OS icons are known to have a more artistic bent.
This, of course, is explicitly 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 that has been long known in the bizz. The utilitarian approach to icons is more clear in both systems System Preferences and Control Panel sections. The icons on both systems obviously convey their meaning without any room for bafflement. These two sets of icons while interesting serve that purpose. Hopefully, the way icons are rendered in Windows 7 will change with the subsequent upgrade. They are now in .ico format which isn't the easiest to handle within .exe and .dll files.
