Designing Toolbar Icons for Windows Vista and Windows 7 Applications
Learn about the latest trends in making modern Windows Vista-style buttons for your programs and Web sites.Developing software or developing a Web site? Ensure your design looks current and contemporary by checking the images used against current standards. This article explains the latest trends in designing modern, good-looking icons for your software and Web projects.
With every new version of Windows, Microsoft refreshes guidelines for graphic 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 graphics differ from previously used XP-style graphics in several ways. The drawing style of the new graphics becomes more realistic than XP icons, but still remains symbolic 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 sizes, and advises that toolbar graphics bear enough visual distinctiveness even in their lowest resolutions. Toolbar icons in Windows Vista have no details such as shadows, and are front-faced with no perspective.
Well-designed and carefully 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. Good images improve usability and efficiency of products, making it simpler to use and more intuitive through better communication of ideas through symbols. Good graphics make objects and actions simpler to find and to use every day.
Vista Toolbar Icons are a set of ready-made application and toolbar icons drawn 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, 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.
