Creating Graphics for Windows Vista and Windows 7 Projects
Learn about the newest trends in creating contemporary Windows Vista-style icons for your programs and Web projects.Producing software or developing a Web site? Make sure your design looks modern and up-to-date by checking the glyphs used against modern standards. This article explains the latest trends in designing modern, good-looking icons for your off-line and Web projects.
With every new version of Windows, Microsoft refreshes guidelines for icon designers. If you want your project look consistent with the newest Windows, it is essential to read and understand the guidelines.
Not getting much into technical details, Microsoft points out that Vista-style images differ from older XP-style graphics in several ways. The drawing style of the new graphics becomes more realistic than XP icons, but still remains symbolic without becoming photorealistic. Microsoft also extends the icon format by defining the maximum size of the icons 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-size viewing experience, and advises that toolbar images bear enough visual distinctiveness even in their lowest sizes. Toolbar images in Windows Vista have no 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 icons improve usability and efficiency of products, making it faster to use and more intuitive through better communication of ideas through symbols. Good icons make buttons and actions easier to find and to use day by day.
Vista Toolbar Icons are a set of readily available application and toolbar icons drawn 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 sizes and resolutions, including the recently added 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.
