Designing Icons for Windows Vista and Windows 7 Applications
Read about the latest trends in designing modern Windows Vista-style images for your programs and Web portals.Developing software or developing a Web site? Make sure your design looks current and contemporary by checking the icons used against current standards. This article explains the newest trends in making modern, good-looking images for your software and on-line projects.
With every new version of Windows, Microsoft refreshes guidelines for image designers. If you want your product look consistent with the newest version of Windows, it is important to read and understand the guidelines.
Not going much into technical details, Microsoft points out that Vista-style images differ from older 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 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 well defined 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 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. Good icons improve usability and efficiency of products, making it simpler to learn and more intuitive through better communication of ideas through symbols. Good graphics make objects and actions easier to find and to use every day.
Vista Toolbar Icons are a set of readily available application and toolbar icon images designed in the new Windows Vista/7 style. Strictly adhering to the latest guidelines, the graphics share common style, colors and gamma, and come in all standard sizes, including the recently added 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.
