Drawing Graphics for Windows Vista Applications
Learn about the newest trends in designing modern Windows Vista-style images for your products and Web projects.Developing software or designing an online project? Make sure your project looks current and up-to-date by checking the glyphs used against modern standards. This text explains the latest trends in designing modern, good-looking images for your off-line 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 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 images 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 standard by defining the largest size of the graphics to PNG-compressed 256x256 pixel images, ensuring that programs look good on modern hi-definition monitors. 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 graphics in Windows Vista have no 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. Good icons improve usability and efficiency of products, making it simpler to learn and more intuitive through better communication of ideas through symbols. Good graphics make objects and actions simpler to find 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.
