Drawing Graphics for Windows Vista Projects
Read about the latest trends in designing contemporary Windows Vista-style icons for your programs and Web sites.Producing software or developing an online project? Ensure your interface looks modern and contemporary by checking the pictures used against modern standards. This text explains the latest trends in designing modern, good-looking images for your off-line and Web projects.
With every new version of Windows, Microsoft updates guidelines for icon 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 older XP-style graphics in several ways. The style of the new icons becomes more realistic than 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 applications look well defined on modern hi-definition monitors. Finally, Microsoft recommends that toolbar icons are optimized for smaller sizes, and advises that toolbar icons bear enough visual distinctiveness even in their lowest sizes. Toolbar images in Windows Vista have no very little details such as shadows, and are front-faced with no perspective.
Well-designed and carefully thought of graphics enhance the appearance of your software, making them more consistent with Windows and third-party software installed on the user’s PC. Good graphics improve usability and efficiency of programs, making it faster to learn and more intuitive through better communication of ideas through symbols. Good icons make buttons and actions easier to learn and to use every day.
Vista Toolbar Icons are a set of readily available application and toolbar icons drawn 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 and resolutions, 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.
