Designing Toolbar Icons for Windows Vista Projects
Learn about the latest trends in creating contemporary Windows Vista-style icons for your products and Web projects.Producing standalone application or developing a Web site? Ensure your interface looks modern and contemporary by checking the glyphs used against current standards. This text explains the latest trends in making modern, good-looking graphics for your off-line and on-line projects.
With every new version of Windows, Microsoft refreshes guidelines for image designers. If you want your product 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 previously used XP-style images in several ways. The style of the new images becomes more realistic than cartoon-line XP icons, but still remains symbolic without becoming photorealistic. Microsoft also extends the standard by defining the maximum size of the graphics to PNG-compressed 256x256 pixel images, ensuring that programs look well defined on modern high resolution displays. 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 icons in Windows Vista have no details such as shadows, and are flat with no perspective.
Well-designed and thought of graphics 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 software, making it easier to use and more intuitive through better communication of ideas through symbols. Good images make buttons and actions simpler to find and to use day by day.
Vista Toolbar Icons are a set of stock application and toolbar icon images 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 and resolutions, including the recently added 256x256 True Color format with alpha-channel. Vista Toolbar Icons can be used in software designed for Windows Vista, as application or toolbar icons, on Web sites and on-line portals.
