Make sure your design looks modern and contemporary by checking the glyphs used against modern standards. This article explains the latest trends in making modern, good-looking graphics for your off-line and on-line projects. With every new release of Windows, Microsoft updates guidelines for image designers. If you want your product look consistent with the newest version of Windows, it is essential to read and comprehend the guidelines. Not getting much into technical details, Microsoft points out that Vista-style icons differ from older XP-style images in several ways. The drawing style of the new graphics becomes more realistic than cartoon-line XP icons, but still remains on the symbolic level without becoming too realistic. Microsoft also extends the icon format by defining the maximum size of the icons to PNG-compressed 256x256 pixel images, ensuring that applications look detailed on modern high resolution monitors. 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 resolutions. Toolbar graphics in Windows Vista have no details such as shadows, and are front-faced 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 products, making it faster to use and more intuitive through better communication of ideas through symbols. Good icons make buttons and actions simpler to learn 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 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.
