Designing Graphics for Windows Vista and Windows 7 Projects
Read about the newest trends in making contemporary Windows Vista-style images for your products and Web sites.Producing software or developing a Web site? Ensure your design looks current and up-to-date by checking the pictures used against current standards. This text explains the newest trends in drawing modern, good-looking graphics for your software and on-line projects.
With every new release of Windows, Microsoft refreshes guidelines for icon designers. If you want your product look consistent with the newest version of Windows, it is essential to read and comprehend the guidelines.
Not getting much into technical details, Microsoft points out that Vista-style graphics differ from previously used XP-style graphics in several ways. The drawing style of the new graphics becomes more realistic than XP icons, but still remains on the symbolic level without becoming too realistic. Microsoft also extends the standard by defining the largest size of the graphics to PNG-compressed 256x256 pixel images, ensuring that applications look well defined on modern high resolution displays. Finally, Microsoft recommends that toolbar icons are optimized for smaller sizes, and advises that toolbar images bear enough visual distinctiveness even in their lowest sizes. Toolbar graphics in Windows Vista have no details such as shadows, and are front-faced with no perspective.
Well-designed and thought of images enhance the appearance of your programs, making them more consistent with Windows and third-party software installed on the user’s PC. Great images improve usability and efficiency of programs, making it faster to use and more intuitive through better communication of ideas through symbols. Good icons make objects and actions simpler to find and to use day by day.
Vista Toolbar Icons are a set of ready-made application and toolbar icon images drawn in the new Windows Vista/7 style. Strictly adhering to all guidelines, the images share common style, colors and gamma, and come in all standard sizes, 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.
