Drawing Buttons for Windows Vista and Windows 7 Applications
Read about the newest trends in producing contemporary Windows Vista-style images for your products and Web portals.Producing standalone application or developing an online project? Ensure your product looks modern and contemporary by checking the pictures used against modern standards. This text explains the latest trends in drawing modern, good-looking graphics for your software and on-line projects.
With every new version of Windows, Microsoft updates guidelines for graphic designers. If you want your project look consistent with the newest version of Windows, it is essential to read and understand the guidelines.
Not going 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 graphics 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 images to PNG-compressed 256x256 pixel images, effectively ensuring that applications look well defined on modern hi-definition displays. Finally, Microsoft recommends that toolbar icons are optimized for smaller-size viewing experience, and advises that toolbar graphics bear enough visual distinctiveness even in their lowest resolutions. Toolbar icons in Windows Vista have no very little details such as shadows, and are flat with no perspective.
Well-designed and carefully thought of images enhance the appearance of your software, 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 easier to learn and more intuitive through better communication of ideas through symbols. Good graphics make buttons and actions simpler to find and to use day by day.
Vista Toolbar Icons are a set of readily available 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 defined 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.
