Drawing Toolbar Icons for Windows Vista Projects
Learn about the latest trends in designing modern Windows Vista-style graphics for your products and Web projects.Developing standalone application or designing a Web site? Make sure your project looks current and up-to-date by checking the glyphs used against modern standards. This text explains the newest trends in designing modern, good-looking icons for your software and Web projects.
With every new version 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 understand the guidelines.
Not going much into technical details, Microsoft points out that Vista-style graphics differ from older XP-style icons in several ways. The drawing style of the new graphics becomes more realistic than cartoon-line XP icons, but still remains on the symbolic level without becoming too realistic. Microsoft also extends the standard by defining the maximum size of the images to PNG-compressed 256x256 pixel images, effectively ensuring that applications look good on modern hi-definition monitors. 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 icons in Windows Vista have no very little details such as shadows, and are front-faced with no perspective.
Well-designed and thought of graphics 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 programs, making it easier to learn and more intuitive through better communication of ideas through symbols. Good graphics make objects and actions easier to learn and to use day by 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 all guidelines, the images share common style, colors and gamma, and come in all standard sizes, 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.
