Creating Buttons for Windows Vista Applications
Read about the latest trends in producing contemporary Windows Vista-style icons for your software and Web projects.Developing standalone application or designing a Web site? Make sure your application looks current and up-to-date by checking the graphics used against current standards. This article explains the newest trends in making modern, good-looking graphics for your software and on-line projects.
With every new version of Windows, Microsoft refreshes guidelines for graphic designers. If you want your product look consistent with the newest version of Windows, it is essential to read and understand the guidelines.
Not getting much into technical details, Microsoft points out that Vista-style graphics differ from older XP-style graphics in several ways. The style of the new graphics becomes more realistic than XP icons, but still remains on the symbolic level without becoming photorealistic. Microsoft also extends the icon format by defining the largest size of the icons to PNG-compressed 256x256 pixel images, ensuring that programs look detailed on modern high resolution displays. Finally, Microsoft recommends that toolbar icons are optimized for smaller sizes, and advises that toolbar icons bear enough visual distinctiveness even in their lowest resolutions. Toolbar graphics in Windows Vista have no details such as shadows, and are front-faced with no perspective.
Well-designed and 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. Great graphics improve usability and efficiency of software, making it simpler to use and more intuitive through better communication of ideas through symbols. Good icons make buttons and actions simpler to find and to use day by day.
Vista Toolbar Icons are a set of stock application and toolbar icons drawn 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, including the recently defined 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.
