Making Toolbar Icons for Windows 7 Projects
Learn about the latest trends in making contemporary Windows Vista-style images for your programs and Web portals.Developing software or developing a Web site? Ensure your project looks current and up-to-date by checking the icons used against current standards. This article explains the latest trends in drawing contemporary, good-looking icons for your off-line and Web projects.
With every new release of Windows, Microsoft refreshes guidelines for image designers. If you want your product look consistent with the newest Windows, it is important to read and understand the guidelines.
Not getting much into technical details, Microsoft points out that Vista-style graphics differ from previously used XP-style images in several ways. The style of the new images becomes more realistic than cartoon-line XP icons, but still remains symbolic without becoming too realistic. Microsoft also extends the standard by defining the maximum size of the images to PNG-compressed 256x256 pixel images, ensuring that programs 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 images 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 programs, making them more consistent with Windows and third-party software installed on the user’s PC. Good graphics improve usability and efficiency of software, making it simpler to learn and more intuitive through better communication of ideas through symbols. Good graphics make objects and actions simpler to find and to use day by day.
Vista Toolbar Icons are a set of readily available application and toolbar icons designed 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 resolutions, including the recently added 256x256 True Color format with alpha-channel. Vista Toolbar Icons can be used in products designed for Windows Vista, as application or toolbar icons, on Web sites and on-line portals.
