Drawing Button Images for Windows Vista and Windows 7 Applications
Read about the newest trends in designing modern Windows Vista-style buttons for your products and Web portals.Producing standalone application or designing an online project? Make sure your project looks modern and up-to-date by checking the pictures used against modern 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 updates guidelines for graphic designers. If you want your product 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 drawing style of the new images becomes more realistic than XP icons, but still remains symbolic without becoming too realistic. Microsoft also extends the icon format by defining the largest size of the icons to PNG-compressed 256x256 pixel images, effectively ensuring that applications look detailed on modern high resolution displays. 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 graphics in Windows Vista have no extra details such as shadows, and are flat with no perspective.
Well-designed and thought of images enhance the appearance of your products, 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 easier to use and more intuitive through better communication of ideas through symbols. Good images make objects and actions easier to learn and to use day by day.
Vista Toolbar Icons are a set of stock application and toolbar icons designed 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 resolutions, including the recently added 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.
