Windows App Icons! (2001 - present)
Ғылым және технология
In this video you will see how some of the most iconic Windows icons have evolved over the years starting with Windows XP in 2001. I intend to do another video focusing on more classic Windows icons in the future.

I like the old Windows 7 and windows 10 looks because I’m just so used to them
Windows xp: details Windows vista/7: more details Windows 10: no details Windows 11:a bit more details I hope Windows 12 will have new icons
Internet Explorer had another icon between 2009 and 2015, it was actually for IE9 which came out in 2011.

Personally I prefer the simplification (in some situations). An example of doing it bad would be Firefox. Their last logo was already fine. It still looked like a fox but was styled. Now it looks like an orange streak

2007 intenet explorer icon was the best
Windows 7 is the best looking icons
The photo file of 2009 is prettier than that of 2015, it was not necessary to simplify it
Windows 11's icons looks more modern then any other version of Windows.

Weren't some 7 icons perhaps used in Vista as well? I mean, icons such as Generic folder labeled with 2009 also existed in 2007. There were also Vista-exclusive icons for Control Panel and media (such as Pictures and Videos) and one for IE (2009-2015).

Windows 10 and older: 3D Windows 11: *F L A T*
2001 - beautiful 2009 - beautiful + 1 2015 - plain 2021 - plain + 1
I like how the updates are sometimes not by the RTM versions like the Media player update in Windows 11 22H2.
i think the song reminds of me going on the 3ds system settigs and hearing this
Windows XP: detailed Windows vista/7: qualitative Windows 10: simple Windows 11: simple with some details and curved
Nice
I like how all of the eras have different advantages. For example, while 2007 (and often 2001) does look pretty, the whole "at an angle" thing is weird with the other apps on the computer. It would make sense if all of the default icons were at an angle, as a way to distinguish between default apps and ones you've downloaded, but many are not (e.g. control panel). The "some icons at an angle, some aren't" thing logically clashes... but then, you don't really notice that as a computer user, you just notice how pretty the icons individually are. All the icons facing forward (modern) makes most sense, but 2007 is most pretty. There's also an advantage with the modern icons where some people just like flat aesthetics so the icons suit them. Personally, I don't really have a favourite aesthetic for computers.
