Making Toolbar Icons for Windows 7 Applications
Learn about the latest trends in designing modern Windows Vista-style graphics for your products and Web portals.Producing standalone application or designing an online project? Make sure your interface looks current and contemporary by checking the images used against current standards. This article explains the newest trends in making modern, good-looking images for your software and on-line projects.
With every new release of Windows, Microsoft refreshes guidelines for icon designers. If you want your project look consistent with the newest Windows release, it is essential to read and comprehend the guidelines.
Not getting much into technical details, Microsoft points out that Vista-style graphics differ from previously used XP-style icons in several ways. The drawing style of the new graphics becomes more realistic than XP icons, but still remains symbolic without becoming photorealistic. Microsoft also extends the icon format by defining the maximum size of the images to PNG-compressed 256x256 pixel images, effectively ensuring that programs look well defined on modern high resolution displays. Finally, Microsoft recommends that toolbar icons are optimized for smaller-size viewing experience, and advises that toolbar graphics bear enough visual distinctiveness even in their lowest sizes. Toolbar images in Windows Vista have no extra details such as shadows, and are flat with no perspective.
Well-designed and 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. Great graphics improve usability and efficiency of software, making it easier to learn and more intuitive through better communication of ideas through symbols. Good images make buttons and actions simpler to learn and to use every day.
Vista Toolbar Icons are a set of readily available application and toolbar icon images drawn in the new Windows Vista/7 style. Strictly adhering to the latest guidelines, the images share common style, colors and gamma, and come in all standard resolutions, including the recently added 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.
