Where do you go for Icons?
-
I need to decorate my VB 2008 db app with icons for command buttons, data grid views etc. But I don't know where to go for a library of Icons to suit most situations. Can I have a top 10 with best value as a factor? Thanks
There are free icons available on the Internet. You can get those if you search.

I recommend you use the fugee icon set. It's free and has a lot of icons. http://www.pinvoke.com/[^]
Have you tried the Krypton Toolkit? http://www.componentfactory.com/free-windows-forms-controls.php

The Icon Factory do some excellent icon sets: http://iconfactory.com/stockicons[^] Not free, but not hugely expensive for what you get. Some very nice designs, too. The fugue and diagona icons are nice (I have used them myself in the past) but if you use the free version you must include an acknowledgement in your application (that's what the $50 licence is all about, if you don't want to do that). The crystal icon project is also very nice, but more Apple-oriented. They are covered by the LGPL licence. I've used these as well in the past, with good results. http://www.everaldo.com/crystal/[^]

Thanks for these suggestions. I'll be loking into the packages as these will give me choice and consistency. I appreciate there are lots of free sites where you can search for Icons. My preference is to pay for a package that has a good library of styles and themes. Any more suggestions for "Pay for Packages" with good choice would be useful. :-D
