Making Graphics for Windows 7 Applications
Read about the latest trends in producing modern Windows Vista-style buttons for your programs and Web portals.Producing software or designing a Web site? Make sure your application looks current and contemporary by checking the graphics used against modern standards. This text explains the latest trends in designing contemporary, good-looking images for your software and on-line projects.
With every new release of Windows, Microsoft refreshes guidelines for graphic designers. If you want your product look consistent with the newest Windows, it is important to read and comprehend the guidelines.
Not getting much into technical details, Microsoft points out that Vista-style graphics differ from older XP-style icons in several ways. The drawing style of the new icons becomes more realistic than XP icons, but still remains on the symbolic level without becoming too realistic. Microsoft also extends the icon format by defining the largest size of the icons to PNG-compressed 256x256 pixel images, 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 images 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 carefully thought of images enhance the appearance of your software, making them more consistent with Windows and third-party software installed on the user’s PC. Great images improve usability and efficiency of programs, making it simpler to use and more intuitive through better communication of ideas through symbols. Good icons make buttons and actions simpler to find and to use day by day.
Vista Toolbar Icons are a set of stock application and toolbar icon images designed in the new Windows Vista/7 style. Strictly adhering to all guidelines, the icons share common style, colors and gamma, and come in all standard sizes and resolutions, including the recently added 256x256 True Color format with alpha-channel. Vista Toolbar Icons can be used in software designed for Windows Vista, as application or toolbar icons, on Web sites and on-line portals.
