Mac OS - Snow Leopard vs Windows Seven Icons
The new Windows seven icons were introduced with Vista and many carry over to Windows seven. On the other hand Mac OS 10 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 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 indicate. Some of the significant differences between the 2 start if you look at the folder icons. While they both use folder shapes, Windows 7 sticks with the more normal yellow color which is closer to their real-world counterparts. Mac OS elects to employ a dotted blue color which more seems like a recycled paper than standard file folder. This change happened in Leopard and was met 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 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 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 ten has some icons that are awfully 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 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 also 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 completely different style. Too in Mac OS X, the TextEdit icon has text which ran in the'Think Different' television advertisement which Apple did in the late 90s. There also are plenty more icons that have this playful touch than in Windows which 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, of course, is explicitly tied to the branding of each OS : Windows is business-oriented and Mac OS is more artistically driven and private. While this isn't engraved in granite, it is something that has been long known in the industry. 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 fascinating serve that purpose. Hopefully, the way icons are rendered in Windows 7 will change with the next upgrade. They're now in .ico format which isn't the quickest to handle within .exe and .dll files.
