Making Toolbar Icons for Windows Vista and Windows 7 Projects
Read about the latest trends in creating contemporary Windows Vista-style icons for your programs and Web sites.Developing standalone application or designing a Web site? Ensure your design looks modern and up-to-date by checking the images used against modern standards. This article explains the newest trends in designing modern, good-looking images for your off-line and Web projects.
With every new release of Windows, Microsoft updates guidelines for image designers. If you want your project 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 older XP-style graphics 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 photorealistic. Microsoft also extends the standard by defining the largest size of the images to PNG-compressed 256x256 pixel images, ensuring that programs look well defined on modern high resolution 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 sizes. Toolbar images in Windows Vista have no very little details such as shadows, and are front-faced with no perspective.
Well-designed and carefully 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. Good icons improve usability and efficiency of programs, making it simpler to learn and more intuitive through better communication of ideas through symbols. Good images make objects and actions simpler to learn and to use day by day.
Vista Toolbar Icons are a set of stock application and toolbar icons 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 sizes, 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.
