Designing Button Images for Windows 7 Projects
Read about the newest trends in creating contemporary Windows Vista-style graphics for your software and Web sites.Producing software or designing a Web site? Ensure your design looks current and contemporary by checking the pictures used against current standards. This text explains the newest trends in designing modern, good-looking graphics for your off-line and on-line projects.
With every new version of Windows, Microsoft updates guidelines for icon designers. If you want your project look consistent with the newest Windows, it is important to read and comprehend the guidelines.
Not going much into technical details, Microsoft points out that Vista-style graphics differ from older XP-style images in several ways. The drawing 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 icons to PNG-compressed 256x256 pixel images, effectively ensuring that applications look well defined on modern high resolution monitors. Finally, Microsoft recommends that toolbar icons are optimized for smaller sizes, and advises that toolbar graphics bear enough visual distinctiveness even in their lowest sizes. Toolbar graphics in Windows Vista have no extra details such as shadows, and are flat 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. Good 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 ready-made 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, 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.
