Designing Buttons for Windows Vista Applications

Learn about the latest trends in making modern Windows Vista-style icons for your products and Web sites.

Developing software or developing a Web site? Make sure your application looks current and up-to-date by checking the icons used against modern standards. This text explains the newest trends in drawing modern, good-looking images for your software and on-line projects.

With every new release of Windows, Microsoft updates guidelines for image designers. If you want your project look consistent with the newest version of Windows, it is important to read and understand the guidelines.

Not going much into technical details, Microsoft points out that Vista-style images differ from older XP-style graphics in several ways. The drawing style of the new images becomes more realistic than XP icons, but still remains symbolic without becoming too realistic. Microsoft also extends the icon format by defining the maximum size of the icons to PNG-compressed 256x256 pixel images, effectively ensuring that applications 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 sizes. Toolbar graphics in Windows Vista have no very little details such as shadows, and are flat with no perspective.

Well-designed and carefully thought of graphics enhance the appearance of your software, making them more consistent with Windows and third-party software installed on the user’s PC. Great images improve usability and efficiency of products, making it simpler to use and more intuitive through better communication of ideas through symbols. Good icons make buttons and actions easier to find and to use every 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 images 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.
