Designing Button Images for Windows Vista Applications
Learn about the latest trends in making modern Windows Vista-style icons for your software and Web projects.Producing standalone application or designing an online project? Make sure your project looks modern and contemporary by checking the images used against modern standards. This text explains the latest trends in drawing modern, good-looking graphics for your software and on-line projects.
With every new version of Windows, Microsoft updates guidelines for icon designers. If you want your project look consistent with the newest Windows, it is essential to read and understand the guidelines.
Not getting much into technical details, Microsoft points out that Vista-style icons differ from older XP-style images 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 icon format by defining the largest size of the icons to PNG-compressed 256x256 pixel images, ensuring that programs look well defined on modern high resolution monitors. Finally, Microsoft recommends that toolbar icons are optimized for smaller sizes, and advises that toolbar images bear enough visual distinctiveness even in their lowest sizes. Toolbar graphics in Windows Vista have no extra 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. Good graphics improve usability and efficiency of products, 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 day by day.
Vista Toolbar Icons are a set of ready-made application and toolbar icons drawn in the new Windows Vista/7 style. Strictly adhering to all guidelines, the graphics share common style, colors and gamma, and come in all standard sizes, including the recently defined 256x256 True Color format with semi-transparency. Vista Toolbar Icons can be used in software designed for Windows Vista, as application or toolbar icons, on Web sites and on-line portals.
