Drawing Buttons for Windows Vista and Windows 7 Projects
Read about the newest trends in producing contemporary Windows Vista-style graphics for your products and Web projects.Developing standalone application or designing a Web site? Make sure your project looks modern and up-to-date by checking the glyphs used against current standards. This article explains the newest trends in making modern, good-looking icons for your off-line and Web projects.
With every new version of Windows, Microsoft updates guidelines for image designers. If you want your product look consistent with the newest Windows, it is essential to read and comprehend the guidelines.
Not going much into technical details, Microsoft points out that Vista-style graphics differ from older XP-style graphics in several ways. The style of the new images becomes more realistic than XP icons, but still remains symbolic without becoming photorealistic. Microsoft also extends the standard by defining the largest size of the images to PNG-compressed 256x256 pixel images, effectively ensuring that applications look good on modern high resolution displays. Finally, Microsoft recommends that toolbar icons are optimized for smaller-size viewing experience, and advises that toolbar icons bear enough visual distinctiveness even in their lowest resolutions. Toolbar images in Windows Vista have no extra details such as shadows, and are flat with no perspective.
Well-designed and carefully thought of icons enhance the appearance of your products, making them more consistent with Windows and third-party software installed on the user’s PC. Good graphics improve usability and efficiency of software, making it faster to use and more intuitive through better communication of ideas through symbols. Good graphics make buttons and actions easier to learn and to use day by day.
Vista Toolbar Icons are a set of readily available application and toolbar icons designed 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 and 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.
