Designing Graphics for Windows 7 Projects
Learn about the latest trends in designing modern Windows Vista-style graphics for your programs and Web portals.Producing standalone application or designing an online project? Ensure your design looks modern and up-to-date by checking the glyphs used against modern standards. This article explains the newest trends in designing modern, good-looking images for your off-line and on-line projects.
With every new release of Windows, Microsoft updates guidelines for graphic designers. If you want your product look consistent with the newest Windows release, it is important to read and comprehend the guidelines.
Not getting much into technical details, Microsoft points out that Vista-style images differ from previously used XP-style graphics in several ways. The drawing style of the new graphics becomes more realistic than XP icons, but still remains on the symbolic level without becoming too realistic. Microsoft also extends the standard by defining the largest size of the graphics to PNG-compressed 256x256 pixel images, effectively ensuring that applications look detailed on modern hi-definition monitors. 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 resolutions. Toolbar images in Windows Vista have no very little details such as shadows, and are flat 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 graphics improve usability and efficiency of software, making it easier to learn and more intuitive through better communication of ideas through symbols. Good graphics make buttons and actions easier to find 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 resolutions, including the recently defined 256x256 True Color format with alpha-channel. Vista Toolbar Icons can be used in products designed for Windows Vista, as application or toolbar icons, on Web sites and on-line portals.
