Making Buttons for Windows 7 Applications
Read about the newest trends in making modern Windows Vista-style buttons for your software and Web sites.Developing standalone application or designing a Web site? Make sure your project looks current and contemporary by checking the icons used against modern standards. This text explains the newest trends in designing modern, good-looking graphics for your software and on-line projects.
With every new version of Windows, Microsoft updates guidelines for image designers. If you want your product look consistent with the newest version of Windows, it is important to read and comprehend the guidelines.
Not going much into technical details, Microsoft points out that Vista-style icons differ from previously used XP-style icons in several ways. The style of the new graphics becomes more realistic than 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 icons to PNG-compressed 256x256 pixel images, ensuring that programs look well defined on modern high resolution monitors. Finally, Microsoft recommends that toolbar icons are optimized for smaller-size viewing experience, and advises that toolbar images bear enough visual distinctiveness even in their lowest resolutions. Toolbar icons in Windows Vista have no extra details such as shadows, and are front-faced with no perspective.
Well-designed and carefully 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. Good graphics improve usability and efficiency of programs, making it faster to use and more intuitive through better communication of ideas through symbols. Good icons make objects and actions simpler to find and to use every day.
Vista Toolbar Icons are a set of ready-made application and toolbar icons 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, 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.
