Drawing Buttons for Windows Vista and Windows 7 Projects
Learn about the latest trends in making contemporary Windows Vista-style graphics for your software and Web portals.Developing software or developing a Web site? Make sure your product looks current and contemporary by checking the images used against modern standards. This text explains the latest trends in designing contemporary, good-looking graphics for your software and Web projects.
With every new version of Windows, Microsoft refreshes guidelines for image designers. If you want your project look consistent with the newest Windows release, it is essential to read and comprehend the guidelines.
Not going much into technical details, Microsoft points out that Vista-style images differ from older XP-style icons in several ways. The style of the new icons becomes more realistic than cartoon-line XP icons, but still remains symbolic without becoming too realistic. Microsoft also extends the icon format by defining the largest size of the graphics to PNG-compressed 256x256 pixel images, effectively ensuring that applications look good 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 images in Windows Vista have no extra details such as shadows, and are flat with no perspective.
Well-designed and 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 icons improve usability and efficiency of products, making it easier to learn and more intuitive through better communication of ideas through symbols. Good icons make objects and actions simpler to find and to use every day.
Vista Toolbar Icons are a set of ready-made application and toolbar icon images designed in the new Windows Vista/7 style. Strictly adhering to the latest guidelines, the images share common style, colors and gamma, and come in all standard resolutions, including the recently added 256x256 True Color format with semi-transparency. Vista Toolbar Icons can be used in programs designed for Windows Vista, as application or toolbar icons, on Web sites and on-line portals.
