Ensure your project looks current and up-to-date by checking the images used against current standards. This text explains the latest trends in drawing modern, good-looking icons for your software and Web projects. With every new version of Windows, Microsoft refreshes guidelines for graphic 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 icons differ from previously used XP-style graphics in several ways. The drawing style of the new icons becomes more realistic than cartoon-line XP icons, but still remains on the symbolic level without becoming too realistic. Microsoft also extends the standard by defining the maximum size of the icons to PNG-compressed 256x256 pixel images, ensuring that applications look detailed on modern hi-definition displays. Finally, Microsoft recommends that toolbar icons are optimized for smaller-size viewing experience, and advises that toolbar graphics bear enough visual distinctiveness even in their lowest sizes. Toolbar graphics in Windows Vista have no very little details such as shadows, and are front-faced with no perspective. Well-designed and carefully 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. Good icons improve usability and efficiency of programs, making it faster to learn and more intuitive through better communication of ideas through symbols. Good graphics make objects and actions simpler to learn and to use every day. Vista Toolbar Icons are a set of readily available application and toolbar icons designed in the new Windows Vista/7 style. Strictly adhering to the latest guidelines, the images share common style, colors and gamma, and come in all standard resolutions, including the recently defined 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.
