Make sure your application looks current and up-to-date by checking the icons used against modern standards. This text explains the newest trends in designing modern, good-looking images for your software and on-line projects. With every new release of Windows, Microsoft refreshes guidelines for graphic designers. If you want your product look consistent with the newest Windows release, it is essential 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 graphics becomes more realistic than cartoon-line XP icons, but still remains symbolic without becoming too realistic. Microsoft also extends the standard by defining the largest size of the graphics to PNG-compressed 256x256 pixel images, ensuring that applications look detailed on modern hi-definition monitors. 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 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 programs, making it faster to learn and more intuitive through better communication of ideas through symbols. Good images make objects and actions simpler to learn and to use every 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 resolutions, including the recently added 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.
