Making Graphics for Windows Vista Projects
Read about the newest trends in producing contemporary Windows Vista-style graphics for your products and Web portals.Developing software or designing an online project? Make sure your interface looks modern and contemporary by checking the icons used against modern standards. This text explains the newest trends in making modern, good-looking icons 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 release, it is important to read and understand the guidelines.
Not getting much into technical details, Microsoft points out that Vista-style images differ from older 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 too realistic. Microsoft also extends the standard by defining the maximum size of the images to PNG-compressed 256x256 pixel images, effectively ensuring that programs look detailed on modern hi-definition monitors. Finally, Microsoft recommends that toolbar icons are optimized for smaller sizes, and advises that toolbar icons bear enough visual distinctiveness even in their lowest sizes. Toolbar icons in Windows Vista have no extra details such as shadows, and are front-faced with no perspective.
Well-designed and thought of graphics enhance the appearance of your programs, making them more consistent with Windows and third-party software installed on the user’s PC. Great icons improve usability and efficiency of programs, 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 day by day.
Vista Toolbar Icons are a set of stock application and toolbar icon images 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 resolutions, including the recently defined 256x256 True Color format with alpha-channel. Vista Toolbar Icons can be used in programs designed for Windows Vista, as application or toolbar icons, on Web sites and on-line portals.
