Creating Icons for Windows Vista and Windows 7 Projects
Learn about the newest trends in producing contemporary Windows Vista-style images for your products and Web portals.
Producing software or developing a Web site? Make sure your project looks modern and contemporary by checking the pictures used against current standards. This text explains the newest trends in designing modern, good-looking graphics for your software and Web projects.
With every new version of Windows, Microsoft refreshes guidelines for graphic designers. If you want your project look consistent with the newest Windows release, 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 icon format by defining the maximum size of the icons to PNG-compressed 256x256 pixel images, effectively ensuring that programs look detailed on modern high resolution 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 graphics in Windows Vista have no extra details such as shadows, and are front-faced with no perspective.
Well-designed and thought of icons enhance the appearance of your products, 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 learn and more intuitive through better communication of ideas through symbols. Good graphics make objects and actions easier to find and to use every 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 the latest guidelines, the images share common style, colors and gamma, and come in all standard sizes and resolutions, 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.
