Press Release Summary = An entire workshop of professional icon crafting tools in one: ArtIcons Pro!
Press Release Body = Previous versions of icon editors don\'t support Vista Icons? Experts from Aha-Soft have found new guidelines for solving this problem
Aha-Soft today announces the unveiling of ArtIcons Pro 5.17, the newest version of its award winning icon design software for the Windows OS. This version, aside from rendering its assistance in creating, editing icon images and managing icon files and libraries, provides great opportunities for working with Vista Icons. If you couldn\'t work with Vista Icons previously, now with the new version of ArtIcons Pro it is going to be no trouble at all. From now onwards you will be able to handle Vista Icons with ease.
Vista Icons introduce a new style of iconography that brings a higher level of detail and sophistication to Windows imagery. First, the style of Windows Aero-style icons is more realistic than illustrative, but not quite photorealistic. The icons are symbolic images - they should look better than photorealistic. Second, icons have a maximum size of 256 x 256, making them suitable for high-DPI displays. These high-resolution icons allow for high visual quality in list views with large icons. Finally, wherever practical, fixed document icons are replaced by thumbnails of the content, making documents easier to identify and find. Thus, ArtIcons Pro is a beeline to refining the visuals of your program and making it more communicative for users.
