Designing Toolbar Icons for Windows Vista Applications
Learn about the latest trends in producing contemporary Windows Vista-style buttons for your products and Web portals.Developing software or designing an online project? Ensure your design looks current and up-to-date by checking the glyphs used against current standards. This article explains the newest trends in drawing modern, good-looking icons for your off-line and Web projects.
With every new version of Windows, Microsoft refreshes guidelines for icon 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 style of the new icons becomes more realistic than cartoon-line XP icons, but still remains on the symbolic level without becoming photorealistic. Microsoft also extends the standard by defining the maximum size of the graphics to PNG-compressed 256x256 pixel images, ensuring that applications look detailed on modern high resolution displays. Finally, Microsoft recommends that toolbar icons are optimized for smaller-size viewing experience, and advises that toolbar icons bear enough visual distinctiveness even in their lowest sizes. Toolbar icons in Windows Vista have no 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 icons improve usability and efficiency of programs, making it simpler to use and more intuitive through better communication of ideas through symbols. Good images make buttons and actions simpler to find and to use day by 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 defined 256x256 True Color format with semi-transparency. Vista Toolbar Icons can be used in software designed for Windows Vista, as application or toolbar icons, on Web sites and on-line portals.
