Drawing Graphics for Windows Vista and Windows 7 Projects
Learn about the latest trends in designing modern Windows Vista-style buttons for your software and Web projects.Producing standalone application or developing an online project? Make sure your project looks modern and contemporary by checking the graphics used against current standards. This article explains the newest trends in designing modern, good-looking images for your off-line and Web projects.
With every new version of Windows, Microsoft updates guidelines for graphic 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 previously used XP-style icons in several ways. The style of the new icons becomes more realistic than cartoon-line XP icons, but still remains symbolic without becoming photorealistic. Microsoft also extends the icon format by defining the largest size of the icons to PNG-compressed 256x256 pixel images, effectively ensuring that programs look well defined on modern hi-definition monitors. Finally, Microsoft recommends that toolbar icons are optimized for smaller sizes, and advises that toolbar graphics bear enough visual distinctiveness even in their lowest resolutions. Toolbar images 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 software, 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 faster to use and more intuitive through better communication of ideas through symbols. Good images make objects 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 the latest guidelines, the images 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.
