Designing Buttons for Windows 7 Projects
Read about the newest trends in producing contemporary Windows Vista-style buttons for your products and Web projects.
Producing software or developing an online project? Ensure your application looks modern and up-to-date by checking the glyphs used against current standards. This article explains the latest trends in making contemporary, good-looking graphics for your software and on-line projects.
With every new release of Windows, Microsoft updates guidelines for icon 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 icons differ from previously used XP-style graphics in several ways. The style of the new graphics becomes more realistic than XP icons, but still remains symbolic without becoming photorealistic. Microsoft also extends the standard by defining the largest size of the icons to PNG-compressed 256x256 pixel images, effectively ensuring that applications look detailed on modern hi-definition displays. 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 graphics in Windows Vista have no very little details such as shadows, and are flat with no perspective.
Well-designed and carefully thought of graphics enhance the appearance of your programs, making them more consistent with Windows and third-party software installed on the user’s PC. Good images improve usability and efficiency of software, making it simpler to use and more intuitive through better communication of ideas through symbols. Good images make objects and actions simpler to learn and to use every 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 icons share common style, colors and gamma, and come in all standard sizes, including the recently defined 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.
