A History of Icons

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the you-mean-like-marilyn-monroe dept.

John H. Doe writes "The GUIdebook has a great page illustrating the history of icons. Of course, they have the Lisa/Mac/OS X paths, but there's the Windows progressions, along with entries for NeXT, OS/2, BeOS, and yes, Linux. Would you call it progress?"

    My God, ResEdit was the shiznizzle! Resources! Words fail to describe just how GOOD that idea was. I still don't understand how Apple could have had so much potential and yet they still sucked out, at least until OS-X.
