Jimmy422 Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 (edited) The title is a little misleading, my mistake, "New visual details are coming to 7 before RTM - Steven Sinofsky" is more fitting. Could someone kindly edit the title? A while back there were a lot of people saying how the icons were final since Windows 7 was feature complete. (As seen in this thread) I refused to believe it, so i fired off an email to the Engineering 7 crew. I just got a response from Steven Sinofsky today. So that means that we're probably going to get new icons before release. For once, I was right :laugh: Edited June 12, 2009 by Jimmy422 Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/783956-new-icons-are-coming-before-rtm-steven-sinofsky/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denis W. Veteran Posted June 12, 2009 Veteran Share Posted June 12, 2009 Shouldn't be a surprise. As far as I'm aware we haven't heard the new startup sound yet, so they've still got some minor branding work to finish.

Penryn Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 I only hope that they will implement more new screensavers as well because all screensavers we have now were all from Vista. If they don't have new screensavers it won't make Windows 7 Windows 7 .

NienorGT Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Well, Vista got a bunch of icons in the last Pre-RTM build (According to Wiki). Build 5840 (build date of October 18, 2006) was made available to internal testers. This build contained a large number of new and final icons, as well as a new set of final wallpapers, including a new default wallpaper based on the Aurora "swoosh" seen in prior builds. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Development_of_Windows_Vista Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/783956-new-icons-are-coming-before-rtm-steven-sinofsky/#findComment-591128680 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subject Delta Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 The new icons in Vista never made it in until late in the RTM Escrow stage, so this is of little surprise to me Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/783956-new-icons-are-coming-before-rtm-steven-sinofsky/#findComment-591128722 Share on other sites More sharing options...

NienorGT Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Because my screen takes 5 secs to open up and it irritate me, also I use a slideshow as screen saver, the same pictures as the slidshow on the desktop so it look nice. Something wrong with that?

Pharos Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 ^^ lol This is hardly surprising, IIRC we only heard the new Vista sounds in RTM. Now in Windows 7 in addition to sounds, I think they're also going to include more new visual stuff. Windows 7 development was slightly different from Vista, so can't really compare both in every absolute detail.

Ambroos Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Final themes, sounds, wallpapers, icons, ... are always only done right before RTM and usually they don't leak before Microsoft shows them on purpose. (Vista's was in Brussels, I was actually there and one of the first ppl to use Vista, uploaded screenshots etc to Neowin back in the days, it's all in a very old thread!)

wguimb Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Sinofsky has responded to me on that thread as well, on a different subject. He reads a lot of forums also. I think he really cares what we think.

I think he really cares what we think. Good egg if you ask me. :) Agreed. I remember briefly chatting with him in a thread at GottaBeMobile around the beginning of the year. At the time I was amazed but impressed that he took the time to get involved with the community despite what must be a pretty busy schedule.
