Making Icons for Windows 7 Applications
Learn about the latest trends in creating contemporary Windows Vista-style images for your products and Web projects.Producing standalone application or developing a Web site? Make sure your product looks modern and up-to-date by checking the icons used against current standards. This text explains the latest trends in designing modern, good-looking icons for your off-line and on-line projects.
With every new release of Windows, Microsoft updates guidelines for icon designers. If you want your product look consistent with the newest version of Windows, it is important to read and comprehend the guidelines.
Not getting much into technical details, Microsoft points out that Vista-style icons differ from older XP-style images in several ways. The style of the new images becomes more realistic than cartoon-line XP icons, but still remains on the symbolic level without becoming photorealistic. Microsoft also extends the standard by defining the largest size of the icons to PNG-compressed 256x256 pixel images, ensuring that programs look good on modern hi-definition displays. 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 front-faced with no perspective.
Well-designed and carefully 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. Great images improve usability and efficiency of products, making it simpler to use and more intuitive through better communication of ideas through symbols. Good graphics make buttons and actions simpler to learn and to use every day.
Vista Toolbar Icons are a set of stock 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 sizes and resolutions, including the recently added 256x256 True Color format with alpha-channel. Vista Toolbar Icons can be used in software designed for Windows Vista, as application or toolbar icons, on Web sites and on-line portals.
