Making Icons for Windows Vista and Windows 7 Applications
Learn about the newest trends in making modern Windows Vista-style images for your programs and Web projects.Developing standalone application or developing an online project? Make sure your application looks current and contemporary by checking the pictures used against modern standards. This article explains the latest trends in drawing contemporary, good-looking images for your software 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 release, it is essential to read and comprehend 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 style of the new images becomes more realistic than cartoon-line XP icons, but still remains symbolic without becoming photorealistic. Microsoft also extends the icon format by defining the maximum size of the images to PNG-compressed 256x256 pixel images, ensuring that applications look detailed on modern high resolution monitors. 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 graphics in Windows Vista have no details such as shadows, and are front-faced with no perspective.
Well-designed and thought of icons 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 software, making it simpler to learn and more intuitive through better communication of ideas through symbols. Good images make buttons and actions simpler to learn and to use every 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 the latest guidelines, the graphics 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 products designed for Windows Vista, as application or toolbar icons, on Web sites and on-line portals.
