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 10 has some icons that are extremely clear like the internal drive whereas on Vista and Windows 7 appears 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 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 closer to their real-world counterparts. Mac OS elects to employ a spotted blue color which more looks like a recycled paper than standard 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 latter 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 difficult 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 while 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 also are several icons that have a more modern style that steps away from the glassy look. One of them is Wordpad which in Windows seven follows a completely 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 also 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 seven. Mac OS icons are known to have a more artistic bent.
This, of course, is directly 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 that has been long known in the business. The utilitarian approach to icons is more obvious 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 engaging serve that purpose. Hopefully, the way icons are rendered in Windows 7 will change with the following upgrade. They're currently in .ico format which isn't the easiest to handle inside .exe and .dll files.
