Designing Buttons for Windows Vista and Windows 7 Applications
Learn about the newest trends in creating modern Windows Vista-style graphics for your software and Web sites.Developing software or developing a Web site? Make sure your project looks modern and up-to-date by checking the graphics used against current standards. This article explains the newest trends in drawing modern, good-looking icons for your software and Web projects.
With every new version of Windows, Microsoft updates guidelines for icon designers. If you want your project look consistent with the newest Windows release, it is important to read and comprehend the guidelines.
Not getting much into technical details, Microsoft points out that Vista-style images differ from older XP-style icons in several ways. The style of the new images becomes more realistic than cartoon-line XP icons, but still remains on the symbolic level without becoming photorealistic. Microsoft also extends the icon format by defining the largest size of the icons to PNG-compressed 256x256 pixel images, effectively ensuring that programs look well defined on modern high resolution displays. Finally, Microsoft recommends that toolbar icons are optimized for smaller-size viewing experience, and advises that toolbar images bear enough visual distinctiveness even in their lowest resolutions. Toolbar graphics in Windows Vista have no details such as shadows, and are flat with no perspective.
Well-designed and thought of icons enhance the appearance of your programs, making them more consistent with Windows and third-party software installed on the user’s PC. Great icons improve usability and efficiency of software, making it simpler to use and more intuitive through better communication of ideas through symbols. Good images make buttons and actions simpler to find and to use every day.
Vista Toolbar Icons are a set of stock application and toolbar icons 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 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.
