Drawing Icons for Windows 7 Projects
Read about the latest trends in making contemporary Windows Vista-style icons for your products and Web portals.Developing standalone application or designing a Web site? Make sure your application looks modern and up-to-date by checking the icons 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 updates guidelines for image designers. If you want your product look consistent with the newest 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 style of the new graphics becomes more realistic than XP icons, but still remains symbolic without becoming too realistic. Microsoft also extends the standard by defining the maximum size of the icons to PNG-compressed 256x256 pixel images, effectively 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 icons bear enough visual distinctiveness even in their lowest sizes. Toolbar graphics in Windows Vista have no extra details such as shadows, and are front-faced with no perspective.
Well-designed and carefully thought of icons 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 software, making it simpler to learn and more intuitive through better communication of ideas through symbols. Good icons make buttons and actions easier to learn and to use day by day.
Vista Toolbar Icons are a set of stock application and toolbar icons designed in the new Windows Vista/7 style. Strictly adhering to the latest guidelines, the icons share common style, colors and gamma, and come in all standard resolutions, including the recently defined 256x256 True Color format with semi-transparency. Vista Toolbar Icons can be used in programs designed for Windows Vista, as application or toolbar icons, on Web sites and on-line portals.
