Together with the common modifications to the design of OS X, Apple has introduced a new version of its desktop OSes and more specific innovations. Take at least an icon of standard applications, which makovody long been accustomed to - Johnny Ive and his comrades got here.
Author online edition TekRevue Jim Teynos icons assembled in pairs of the same program from the OS X 10.9 and 10.10. The result was very entertaining exhibition.
Despite the general "plane" interface of the new OS, application icons have retained their bulk and texture, although it became a little easier, and partly rid of its former luster. Icons, which depict objects at an angle, is now rendered all under a single slope, and those icons, which are based on simple geometric shape (circle or rectangle), lost items, which in a small amount of blur created the impression (for example, the new Safari icon in the Dock will look much tidier).
At the same time the icon "System Preferences" has become more photorealistic: gears familiar purchased under the new AJ-facet brilliant devices. The same can be said about the writing pen on the icon TextEdit and magnifying glass icon on the "View".
In short, there is to consider that: Apple designers did a good job to improve and optimize the familiar icons. Separately, it is worth noting Finder icon and the trash can - perhaps, these updated steeper all the others. :)
