Why labels for OS X won't come from Apple
Authored by: semios on Oct 14, '02 10:11:29PM
Apple's old school labels have been upstaged by Nautilus' emblems. Labels are often hard to recognize, especially with the high res icons we now have. I offer a picture below to give you a taste what emblems look like. Basically it's a mini-icon that is layed on top of another icon. These emblems are much easier to recognize than labels. They are also much more expressive than the color labels. See as the dock makes extensive use of overlaying small icons on top of the application icon, I wouldn't be surprised to see something similar come out from Apple. In fact, I really hope they come out with this soon.
