This might be a dumb question. I don't know. I'm new to all this. How
do you find icons for your programs? All GUI applications have cool
icons that represent various things. For instance, to save is often
represented as a disk, etc. You know, the small little picture
references that give meaning to the phrase 'Graphical User Interface'.
But I'm not a graphics artist! Drawing is simply one talent that
skipped me completely. Where can I find icons to use with my programs?
I don't even know how to search for them, because I'm not sure how to
word it. I tried Googling various things: icons, software graphics,
application icons, custom graphics, etc, etc. But I'm not getting much
luck here you guys.
Also, besides just finding a collection of various pre-made icons, who
would I talk to to make me some original custom made icons? I'll look
for hours and find one or two places, but they never respond to my
messages, so I figure they must not do that kind of art work.
I'm looking for both: a collection of graphics and some place (or
someone) that can make custom original graphics. The latter is just
for future reference. The more important one is the former, because I
can't even afford to pay for originals right now. But maybe I will
soon, so it would be nice to have a resource.
Thanks in advance,
Joshua

Many GUI toolkit ( like wx and gtk ) have a standard stock of icons for
common tasks ( load, save, ok, cancel, ...).

Hi,
I know that Windows comes with own icons and bitmaps for menus, toolbars,
etc, which are compiled into ressource dlls. Is it possible to use these
images into the own program and how do I do that? I suppose these images all
have some name, which I would use to get the icon for let's say "New File"
and put it on my apps toolbar... Is there some place with docs what
images/icons are available and in which dll?
Thanks for your replies.

In the course of my career, I've assembled a collection of icons to use

In VS6, I could assign the same icon to forms and the application. VS

In VS2003, I'm having no luck. I import an icon into the editor.

Hi,
- Is there a way to that every form in my app use the same icon withouth
adding it to the Icon property one form by one ?
- Do I must add to my app the icon(s) I will use in my forms as embedded
resource, then I must use the assembly.GetManifestResourceStream in order to
assign to my forms ? Is that the correct way ?
- Can I use 24 bit icons ?

Is there a "recommended" size for TreeView icons these days?
I've rummaged around MSDN and Google and can't find anything that

Any recommendations?
