Making Icons for Windows 7 Projects
Read about the latest trends in producing contemporary Windows Vista-style graphics for your software and Web projects.Producing software or designing an online project? Make sure your product looks current and contemporary by checking the pictures used against modern standards. This article explains the latest trends in drawing contemporary, good-looking icons for your off-line 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 comprehend the guidelines.
Not getting much into technical details, Microsoft points out that Vista-style graphics differ from previously used XP-style graphics in several ways. The drawing style of the new icons becomes more realistic than XP icons, but still remains on the symbolic level 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 programs look good on modern hi-definition 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 resolutions. Toolbar icons in Windows Vista have no extra details such as shadows, and are flat 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 graphics improve usability and efficiency of products, making it faster to use and more intuitive through better communication of ideas through symbols. Good graphics make buttons and actions simpler to find and to use day by day.
Vista Toolbar Icons are a set of ready-made 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 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.
