Creating Buttons for Windows Vista and Windows 7 Applications
Learn about the newest trends in producing modern Windows Vista-style images for your programs and Web portals.Producing standalone application or developing an online project? Make sure your project looks modern and contemporary by checking the icons used against modern standards. This article explains the latest trends in making modern, good-looking icons for your software 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, it is essential to read and comprehend the guidelines.
Not getting much into technical details, Microsoft points out that Vista-style graphics differ from previously used XP-style images in several ways. The drawing style of the new icons becomes more realistic than cartoon-line XP icons, but still remains on the symbolic level without becoming photorealistic. Microsoft also extends the icon format by defining the maximum size of the graphics to PNG-compressed 256x256 pixel images, ensuring that programs look well defined on modern high resolution monitors. 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 graphics in Windows Vista have no very little details such as shadows, and are front-faced with no perspective.
Well-designed and carefully thought of icons enhance the appearance of your programs, making them more consistent with Windows and third-party software installed on the user’s PC. Great icons improve usability and efficiency of products, making it faster to use and more intuitive through better communication of ideas through symbols. Good images make buttons and actions easier to find and to use every day.
Vista Toolbar Icons are a set of stock application and toolbar icon images designed in the new Windows Vista/7 style. Strictly adhering to the latest guidelines, the images share common style, colors and gamma, and come in all standard sizes and resolutions, including the recently added 256x256 True Color format with semi-transparency. Vista Toolbar Icons can be used in programs designed for Windows Vista, as application or toolbar icons, on Web sites and on-line portals.
