Designing Icons for Windows 7 Applications
Learn about the latest trends in producing modern Windows Vista-style graphics for your programs and Web portals.Producing software or designing a Web site? Ensure your application looks modern and up-to-date by checking the glyphs used against modern standards. This text explains the newest trends in drawing modern, good-looking images for your off-line and on-line projects.
With every new release of Windows, Microsoft refreshes guidelines for graphic designers. If you want your project look consistent with the newest Windows, it is important 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 images in several ways. The style of the new images becomes more realistic than cartoon-line XP icons, but still remains symbolic 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 programs look detailed on modern high resolution monitors. Finally, Microsoft recommends that toolbar icons are optimized for smaller-size viewing experience, and advises that toolbar icons bear enough visual distinctiveness even in their lowest sizes. Toolbar images in Windows Vista have no very little details such as shadows, and are flat with no perspective.
Well-designed and carefully 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. Good images improve usability and efficiency of software, making it simpler to learn and more intuitive through better communication of ideas through symbols. Good images make buttons and actions simpler to find and to use day by day.
Vista Toolbar Icons are a set of stock application and toolbar icon images drawn in the new Windows Vista/7 style. Strictly adhering to all guidelines, the graphics share common style, colors and gamma, and come in all standard sizes, including the recently defined 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.
