Designing Toolbar Icons for Windows Vista and Windows 7 Applications
Learn about the latest trends in designing contemporary Windows Vista-style images for your programs and Web sites.Developing software or designing an online project? Ensure your project looks modern and contemporary by checking the glyphs used against modern standards. This article explains the newest trends in drawing modern, good-looking images for your off-line and Web projects.
With every new version of Windows, Microsoft updates guidelines for icon designers. If you want your product look consistent with the newest Windows release, it is important to read and understand the guidelines.
Not going much into technical details, Microsoft points out that Vista-style images differ from older XP-style images in several ways. The drawing style of the new icons becomes more realistic than XP icons, but still remains symbolic without becoming too realistic. Microsoft also extends the icon format by defining the largest size of the icons to PNG-compressed 256x256 pixel images, ensuring that programs look well defined on modern high resolution monitors. Finally, Microsoft recommends that toolbar icons are optimized for smaller-size viewing experience, and advises that toolbar icons bear enough visual distinctiveness even in their lowest resolutions. Toolbar images 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 software, making them more consistent with Windows and third-party software installed on the user’s PC. Great icons improve usability and efficiency of products, making it simpler to use and more intuitive through better communication of ideas through symbols. Good graphics make buttons and actions easier to learn and to use day by day.
Vista Toolbar Icons are a set of readily available application and toolbar icon images drawn in the new Windows Vista/7 style. Strictly adhering to all 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.
