Drawing Icons for Windows 7 Projects
Learn about the newest trends in making modern Windows Vista-style icons for your products and Web projects.Producing software or developing an online project? Ensure your application looks current and contemporary by checking the graphics used against current standards. This article explains the newest trends in making modern, good-looking icons 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 version of Windows, it is essential to read and understand the guidelines.
Not going 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 graphics becomes more realistic than cartoon-line XP icons, but still remains symbolic without becoming photorealistic. Microsoft also extends the icon format by defining the maximum size of the graphics to PNG-compressed 256x256 pixel images, effectively ensuring that applications look good on modern high resolution displays. Finally, Microsoft recommends that toolbar icons are optimized for smaller sizes, and advises that toolbar graphics bear enough visual distinctiveness even in their lowest resolutions. Toolbar graphics in Windows Vista have no details such as shadows, and are flat with no perspective.
Well-designed and carefully thought of graphics enhance the appearance of your products, making them more consistent with Windows and third-party software installed on the user’s PC. Good icons improve usability and efficiency of programs, making it simpler to use and more intuitive through better communication of ideas through symbols. Good graphics make buttons and actions simpler to learn and to use every day.
Vista Toolbar Icons are a set of ready-made application and toolbar icon images designed in the new Windows Vista/7 style. Strictly adhering to all guidelines, the graphics share common style, colors and gamma, and come in all standard sizes, including the recently defined 256x256 True Color format with alpha-channel. Vista Toolbar Icons can be used in programs designed for Windows Vista, as application or toolbar icons, on Web sites and on-line portals.
