Designing Button Images for Windows 7 Projects
Read about the latest trends in producing contemporary Windows Vista-style icons for your software and Web portals.Developing software or developing a Web site? Ensure your project looks modern and contemporary by checking the pictures used against current standards. This article explains the latest trends in designing modern, good-looking icons for your software and on-line projects.
With every new release of Windows, Microsoft refreshes guidelines for image 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 graphics differ from previously used XP-style graphics in several ways. The drawing style of the new graphics becomes more realistic than cartoon-line XP icons, but still remains symbolic without becoming photorealistic. Microsoft also extends the standard by defining the largest size of the icons to PNG-compressed 256x256 pixel images, effectively ensuring that applications look well defined on modern hi-definition 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 sizes. Toolbar images in Windows Vista have no extra details such as shadows, and are flat with no perspective.
Well-designed and carefully thought of graphics enhance the appearance of your products, making them more consistent with Windows and third-party software installed on the user’s PC. Great images improve usability and efficiency of programs, making it faster to learn and more intuitive through better communication of ideas through symbols. Good images make buttons and actions easier to find 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 the latest guidelines, the graphics share common style, colors and gamma, and come in all standard sizes, including the recently added 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.
