Making Icons for Windows 7 Applications
Learn about the latest trends in designing contemporary Windows Vista-style graphics for your software and Web sites.Developing standalone application or developing an online project? Ensure your project looks modern and up-to-date by checking the pictures used against current standards. This text explains the newest trends in designing modern, good-looking images for your software and Web projects.
With every new version of Windows, Microsoft updates guidelines for icon designers. If you want your project look consistent with the newest Windows, it is important 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 drawing style of the new graphics 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 applications look good on modern high resolution monitors. 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 very little details such as shadows, and are flat with no perspective.
Well-designed and thought of graphics 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 software, making it faster to learn and more intuitive through better communication of ideas through symbols. Good icons make objects and actions simpler to learn 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 all guidelines, the graphics share common style, colors and gamma, and come in all standard sizes and resolutions, including the recently added 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.
