Drawing Button Images for Windows 7 Projects
Learn about the latest trends in producing modern Windows Vista-style images for your programs and Web portals.Developing software or designing an online project? Make sure your product looks modern and up-to-date by checking the icons used against current standards. This article explains the newest trends in making contemporary, good-looking icons for your software and Web projects.
With every new version of Windows, Microsoft refreshes guidelines for graphic designers. If you want your product look consistent with the newest Windows, it is essential to read and comprehend the guidelines.
Not getting much into technical details, Microsoft points out that Vista-style icons differ from previously used XP-style graphics in several ways. The style of the new graphics becomes more realistic than cartoon-line XP icons, but still remains symbolic without becoming too realistic. Microsoft also extends the standard by defining the largest size of the images to PNG-compressed 256x256 pixel images, effectively ensuring that programs look well defined on modern high resolution displays. Finally, Microsoft recommends that toolbar icons are optimized for smaller-size viewing experience, and advises that toolbar icons bear enough visual distinctiveness even in their lowest resolutions. Toolbar images in Windows Vista have no extra details such as shadows, and are flat with no perspective.
Well-designed and carefully thought of images enhance the appearance of your programs, making them more consistent with Windows and third-party software installed on the user’s PC. Good graphics improve usability and efficiency of software, making it easier to learn and more intuitive through better communication of ideas through symbols. Good images make objects and actions simpler to find and to use every day.
Vista Toolbar Icons are a set of readily available application and toolbar icon images designed in the new Windows Vista/7 style. Strictly adhering to the latest guidelines, the graphics share common style, colors and gamma, and come in all standard resolutions, including the recently added 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.
