Creating Toolbar Icons for Windows 7 Projects
Read about the latest trends in producing contemporary Windows Vista-style icons for your software and Web sites.Producing standalone application or developing an online project? Make sure your design looks modern and up-to-date by checking the graphics used against current standards. This article explains the latest trends in making modern, good-looking images for your off-line and Web projects.
With every new version of Windows, Microsoft updates guidelines for graphic designers. If you want your product 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 images differ from previously used XP-style icons in several ways. The style of the new images becomes more realistic than XP icons, but still remains on the symbolic level without becoming too realistic. Microsoft also extends the icon format by defining the maximum size of the images to PNG-compressed 256x256 pixel images, effectively 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 icons in Windows Vista have no very little details such as shadows, and are front-faced with no perspective.
Well-designed and thought of images enhance the appearance of your products, making them more consistent with Windows and third-party software installed on the user’s PC. Great graphics improve usability and efficiency of programs, making it easier to learn and more intuitive through better communication of ideas through symbols. Good graphics make buttons and actions easier to find 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 all guidelines, the icons 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 software designed for Windows Vista, as application or toolbar icons, on Web sites and on-line portals.
