This article introduces how to understand the new icon of Windows 10 system. The content is very detailed. Interested friends can use it for reference. I hope it will be helpful to you.

The change to Microsoft's icon will eventually be deployed to every PC with the system update, and this change is as striking as the change in the Office icon. But I found that as time went on, the Windows10 icon began to look more and more like the macOS icon.

Let's start with the hard drive icon and the recycle bin icon. Now, they are both front and appearance icons, rather than 3/4 views, which is very much like the icons on macOS.

Notice how the green dot on the hard drive icon now switches from the right to the left. The hard drive icons OS Big Sur and Catalina on the mac (the icons that pop up when you plug the flash drive into the USB port) are also on the front, but the green dots are on the right, just like the dots on the new Windows 10 hard drive icon. The new Windows hard drive icon is less inclined, but looks more like Mac.

The new Windows Recycle Bin is also more like Mac than ever before. It's also positive, a little higher. It's just that the mac system Recycle Bin icon is circular, not rectangular, but it is also partially transparent, and the top paper is almost overflowing. This piece of paper is more colorful than the Windows version, but you can see that it is more or less the same.

Not only are these icons becoming more and more like MAC, Microsoft is redesigning desktop, document, download, picture, music and video folder icons to look like MAC.

Microsoft said it made the icons to "make it easier to tell them apart at a glance." I think the current icons are easy to distinguish, because each icon already contains notes, arrows, etc., but fragments of these icons are hung around an open folder, rather than embedded in the middle like the icon in.

They are not as colorful as Apple chose, because Apple chose to make all the folders a blue shadow. But they all have different icons in the center to distinguish between the two. In particular, the new images and desktop windows10 icons are also different shades of blue, just like macOS, but other new icons are more colorful, just like the colorful macOS icon bars on the desktop.

For Big Sur in particular, Apple wants its icon to look more consistent with the icon on iOS. Microsoft is trying to do the same with these new windows10 icons.

"to make the Microsoft products that display files more consistent, some changes have been made to the direction of folder icons and default file type icons," Microsoft said in its recent Windows Insider blog. "

All this is fine, but it seems to have something to do with the general trend of simplifying icons as much as possible. If you compare icon changes for macOS Catalina and Big Sur, for example, you will see significant changes to calculator, calendar, and mail icons.

When we look back on when Microsoft started changing more Windows10 icons in 2020, it even said it wanted to maintain a consistent look on Android, iOS and macOS. Having an icon that looks more like Mac certainly helps with this task, although it seems to make Windows10 itself look more like Mac than stand out. Maybe I just hate change. I have the right to say no to the new icon.

How to understand the new icon of the Windows 10 system is shared here. I hope the above content can be helpful to you and you can learn more. If you think the article is good, you can share it for more people to see.
