Making Button Images for Windows 7 Applications
Learn about the newest trends in producing modern Windows Vista-style icons for your programs and Web projects.Developing software or developing an online project? Make sure your project looks current and up-to-date by checking the images used against modern standards. This text explains the latest trends in making contemporary, good-looking images for your off-line and Web projects.
With every new release of Windows, Microsoft updates guidelines for graphic designers. If you want your project 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 icons differ from older XP-style images 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 largest size of the graphics to PNG-compressed 256x256 pixel images, ensuring that applications look well defined on modern hi-definition displays. Finally, Microsoft recommends that toolbar icons are optimized for smaller sizes, and advises that toolbar images bear enough visual distinctiveness even in their lowest sizes. Toolbar icons in Windows Vista have no extra details such as shadows, and are flat with no perspective.
Well-designed and 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. Good icons improve usability and efficiency of programs, making it faster to learn and more intuitive through better communication of ideas through symbols. Good graphics make objects and actions easier to learn and to use day by day.
Vista Toolbar Icons are a set of stock application and toolbar icons 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 defined 256x256 True Color format with semi-transparency. Vista Toolbar Icons can be used in software designed for Windows Vista, as application or toolbar icons, on Web sites and on-line portals.
