Thank god, they're not keeping the current ones.

Still shit
>>47079243
They look a lot better.
>>47079243
Looks a lot better, but the folders look strange.
They're placeholders
ugly af
I don't understand that all the elements are flat except the icons...Use the fuckin icon-style as the icons of Office 2013/2016...
Muh flat.
Well, at least I don't have to put up with that horrible Recycle Bin icon.
>>47079243
Better, but still not good
With all the money MS has cant they hire just one decent designer. Is the whole company a bunch of out of touch old men?
>tfw Macfags get consistently beautiful desktop OS design
>>47079243
thank god, much better than the previous design.
Much better, but it looks a bit inconsistent with the sharp, visibly aliased icons next to the blurry, antialiased text.
I could accept some blurry text if the UI had abolished the pixel everywhere except as a rendering detail and would scale perfectly from 0.1x to 10x at least, but this being Windows it probably still has dialogs with hardcoded pixel layouts from Windows 3.11.
>>47079384
The icons in 10.10 are just flat icons with neon pastel colors and slight gradients you shithead.
So now we are getting le ebin isometric icons – why can't their designers think of something themselves?
I swear if this continues, Win10 will ship with Trendwhore Shape icons.
>>47079384
>OS X

kek
>>47079409

>>47079243
If anything these icons look more Windows 9x-ish to me.

>the stainless steel Launchpad icon just turned into a flat gray circle
>Safari goes from looking like a glass compass to some plain colors
>iTunes from a cool blue bubble to a neon red stamp
And it goes on.
Better, but only because the last ones were an abomination. Those are just ugly as fuck.
Hire new artists Microsoft. The people you've got doing this shit for you are awful and are still headed full fucking blast in the wrong direction.
>>47079460
They outsource their icon development to a company called "Iconfactory".
Windows 95/98 style recycle bin mixed with the transparency of the Windows XP style recycle bin...
>>47079455
>2015
>Liking web 2.0 style overly glossy graphics
I like the recycle/drive/printer icons, but This PC seems wrong. Don't really like the folders either
>>47079474
If they're going with this icon theme then they should offer alternative themes as well because that's what iconfactory and others are good at.

>implying flat design is superior to visual depth
The perspective sort of reminds me of Transport Tycoon. In a good way.
The Windows logo on the "Windows Drive" icon is fucking horrible though.
>>47079559
But the flattest design 2013 looks the best
>>47079559
See, this is how flat design should be done. Not shit like >>47079455
>>47079550
Yea you don't want to see me angry

Why is Yosemite's visual design something worth following?
>>47079243
Still ugly as fuck.
What the fuck Microsoft. Do you even gd?
I actually liked the older design better.
I guess I was the only one.
>>47079455
Icons are part of a system. They're not supposed to look good on their own.
>giving a fuck about icons or looks instead of performance and software compatibility
>crying about DEFAULT shit that can be changed
Really, you are fucking disgusting trash, also, here, I changed the win10 icons to win7 ones in less time you posted to cry about them
>>47079848
What does that actually mean? I'm just criticizing the aesthetic of OS X 10.10.
In the very least I wish the dock was still a shelf rather than a gray rectangle. It can be a flat-shaded shelf but still make it as though the icons are sitting on it, not in it.
>>47079853
They play a huge role in the feel and vibe that people will get when using windows.
In this day and age, if you want to advertise or market some product, aesthetics actually matter, whether you like it or not
>>47079243

>>47079243
Not as bad, but it's still bad.
>>47079929
Its like crying about default wallpapers, so fucking retarded
>>47079243
>asking for feedback
that's the worst idea ever
PC users are mostly morons that don't know what they want. Even if they liked it now they will hate it on RTM this summer
They really look like a mix of 95/98 with a "modern" style
>>47079867
It means you're not supposed to look solely at the icons. You have to look at the entire screen and the rest of the UI. Sometimes, you even have to take the screen, screen border, and laptop design into account as well.
I actually like these icons...
>>47079243
call me when they are at least as good as this guys work
http://oliverjanoschek.deviantart.com/
>>47080062
here's what I mean. Do you think OS X would look good on the variety of Windows laptops? Absolutely not. But Windows 8 looked pretty darn nice on the new laptops. Windows Vista and 7 also had a gradual increase towards merging the laptop aesthetics with the OS.
And now Windows 10 is changing. So is the form and function of Windows laptops. Tablets aesthetics are also changing. Even desktop screens have changed a lot in aesthetics since the time of XP.
>>47080090
Nice advertising, brah.
Why did the Start button shrink!?
>>47079559
2005 a best
>>47079598
yosemite icons are not really flat. They just got rid of gloss and other overlay effects and cleaned up a bit, icons still have gradients at the background. glyphs, shapes on icons still have a little shadows and it looks a lot better than gradientless/shadowless complete flat design shit. The reason windows icon look better now then previous totally flat ones.
pic related: If yosemite icons were flat/gradientless/shadowless etc. they would look like shit. flat design sucks as much as web 2.0 glossy icons. somewhere between is better.
>>47080090
those are fucking horrible
>>47080110
not mine, but as Soon as I saw the isometric look, I thought... wait there are way better icons already made with that look.
In fact the computer icon looks way too similar.
>Microsoft shows off new icons

This. Steven Sinofsky said making Windows was like making a pizza for millions of people. The last thing you need to do is asking for the ingredients they want in the piiza.
>>47080090
Fuck off
>>47080090
But icon design moved past that trend years ago...
>>47080143
Those are flat as hell.
>>47080090
Windows doesn't have any dark themes. Try changing the colors of that icon to something brighter, and then come back.

lel. Everyone complaining about the way icons look when we all know it's ridiculously hard to customize them. Fucking kek, ya nerds. How does win 10 perform though? I think i should finally install and see. I've been to fucking lazy to screw with it.

daily reminder that people were praising OSX design and continue to do so
far better then they had before, must say
Certainly better than those previous ones, but they still don't look that great. The recycle bin and drive icons look shit

That's pretty sexy, Anon.
Got more?
>>47080568
ghost-like folders mean they were deleted
>>47079433

wow, that looks horrible.
- Huge toolbar utter waste of space.
- Close/Minimize buttons are too far away from each other, while the icons on the left have too small spacing.
- forward backward buttons are too small, while useless buttons that nobody uses (Move to, Copy to, Delete) are huge as fuck.
- buttons look assymetricall and somewhat off
- icons are still horrible, even though less horrible than the previous ones

Manually replace the icons in Win32.
Make sure you have each icon with all resolutions needed for any size icon that windows wants.
>>47079842
They look good so just stop already.
Not sure what the current ones are, but these look terrible, like out of a video game or something.

>>47080918

Do the keyboard settings dictate which NSA servers Windows calls home to?? The shit is that?
Am I the only one who preferred the flat ones?
I don't like these "flat-but-with-gradients" icons.
The folder icons look really weird. The Computer is too detailed, the Recycle Bin looks too 3D and similar to Win 95, etc.
>>47080980
>Am I the only one who preferred the flat ones?
Yes.
Those look... really good, actually. An isometric skeumorphic without going hurr flat. I like it.
What the fuck, the old ones looked great. These just look like some shitty compromise between minimalist logos and the Win7 ones.
>/g/ in charge of taste
>>47081090
The Recycle Bin on 10036 was terrible. It didn't even look right next to the other icons, just like it was a rush job.
these are less shit, but less shit is still shit
>>47081136
Sure but the folders and stuff were top sex.
>>47081066
this
they've gone from laughably bad to pretty decent
>>47081161
The other icons I was okay with if only because I wanted the flat aesthetic to extend beyond the Modern UI. The actual look of the icons was only so-so.
>>47080568
Ok, that's fucking hot shit. *These* actually look like fresh new icons.
>>47080456

They'll have to fix tablet mode. The ability to use the desktop on Windows 8.1 was one of the biggest strength of Windows tablets. Windows 10 is currently unusable.
