Drawing Button Images for Windows 7 Projects
Learn about the latest trends in creating modern Windows Vista-style images for your programs and Web portals.Producing standalone application or developing an online project? Ensure your interface looks modern and contemporary by checking the glyphs used against current standards. This article explains the newest trends in designing modern, good-looking graphics for your off-line and Web projects.
With every new release of Windows, Microsoft updates guidelines for icon designers. If you want your product look consistent with the newest Windows release, it is essential to read and understand the guidelines.
Not getting much into technical details, Microsoft points out that Vista-style images differ from older XP-style icons in several ways. The style of the new images becomes more realistic than cartoon-line XP icons, but still remains symbolic without becoming too realistic. Microsoft also extends the icon format by defining the largest size of the images to PNG-compressed 256x256 pixel images, effectively ensuring that programs look detailed on modern hi-definition displays. Finally, Microsoft recommends that toolbar icons are optimized for smaller sizes, and advises that toolbar images bear enough visual distinctiveness even in their lowest sizes. Toolbar graphics in Windows Vista have no extra details such as shadows, and are front-faced with no perspective.
Well-designed and thought of images enhance the appearance of your software, making them more consistent with Windows and third-party software installed on the user’s PC. Great graphics improve usability and efficiency of software, making it faster to learn and more intuitive through better communication of ideas through symbols. Good images make buttons and actions simpler to find and to use day by day.
Vista Toolbar Icons are a set of ready-made application and toolbar icons designed in the new Windows Vista/7 style. Strictly adhering to all guidelines, the icons share common style, colors and gamma, and come in all standard resolutions, including the recently defined 256x256 True Color format with alpha-channel. Vista Toolbar Icons can be used in products designed for Windows Vista, as application or toolbar icons, on Web sites and on-line portals.
