Side by side: UI changes from Windows 7 beta to Windows 7 RC


Recommended Posts

Some icons and some small graphics changes but really not a lot. I really doubt we are going to see major changes on the final build.

just realized after looking at those that Win 7 still has the old pie graph of hard drive space. Some things will never get updated or removed it seems

One really annoying change from Beta to RC is the change from "Title Case" to "Sentence case" en-US capitalization of some menus, noticeably the shell's context menus. The problem is that this change isn't uniform--a lot of menus still use Title Case, esp. the menus for minor apps. Plus all third-party software, shell extensions, etc. still use Title Case since that's what it has always been. And now things look tacky with a mix of Title Case and Sentence case. A change like this should not have been made this late in the game.

Actually, it isn't the same. The pie graph now uses antialiasing to get rid of the jagged look. Otherwise same idea and same colors. I don't understand why this is a huge issue, or how it indicates that other things won't get updated.

I wouldn't want the pie graph to be removed. The only thing I would change would be the colours, but honestly that's not a big deal.
