Designing Buttons for Windows Vista Projects
Learn about the latest trends in producing contemporary Windows Vista-style icons for your programs and Web sites.Developing standalone application or designing an online project? Ensure your product looks modern and contemporary by checking the pictures used against current standards. This article explains the latest trends in making modern, good-looking images for your off-line and on-line projects.
With every new version of Windows, Microsoft updates guidelines for graphic designers. If you want your project look consistent with the newest version of Windows, it is important to read and understand the guidelines.
Not getting much into technical details, Microsoft points out that Vista-style images differ from older XP-style images in several ways. The drawing style of the new icons 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 images to PNG-compressed 256x256 pixel images, ensuring that applications 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 icons in Windows Vista have no very little details such as shadows, and are flat with no perspective.
Well-designed and thought of graphics enhance the appearance of your programs, making them more consistent with Windows and third-party software installed on the user’s PC. Good images improve usability and efficiency of programs, making it simpler to learn and more intuitive through better communication of ideas through symbols. Good images make buttons and actions simpler to learn and to use day by day.
Vista Toolbar Icons are a set of readily available 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 added 256x256 True Color format with alpha-channel. Vista Toolbar Icons can be used in software designed for Windows Vista, as application or toolbar icons, on Web sites and on-line portals.
