    Not of much help. I spend a lot of time looking for them because I was missing what needed to be most prominent.

    I'm surprised. I've collected a volume of several thousands of icons and their corresponding png's over the years, all through google.

      My first thought. Pulled out from my linux box. But couldn't find what I was looking for.

      Another good source, with multiple sized png files, is Oxygen Icons: https://github.com/pasnox/oxygen-icons-png[^]

        I do have such a collection too. But this project required icons that I just couldn't find out. What I was looking for some professional icon designers/vendors, which people have some experience with.

          I just finished a hobby android and WPF app and I found I missed something very important - icons for the UI. Because, for the entire time, I've never cared how monstrous these things look without UI. Unfortunately, for being a person feeling at-home with text and shells all the time my rusty brain has lost all its creativity :sigh: I tried a quick Google search to find icons resources for my need, sadly I was of not much help. Any suggestions on where should I look ? I am looking for icons for a rich-text-editorish component, some printers and device icons etc. While I was a student, I used to "strut" with my Photoshop and Illustrator skills, last time I opened it, CC freaked me out :~

            You can check https://icons8.com/. They have a free license where they just require you to link to their website. More details here[^]

              Without getting into precise details of what you're looking for (list of types of icons, sizes, style, etc) I would suggest taking a look at IconShock. A wide variety of styles and, unlike many others, very reasonable pricing. There are tons of icon providers out there but I haven't seen any that have the selection and variety that IconShock does for the price (no - I am not affiliated with them). Biggest complaint about them would be their small icons - while some providers will actually have a different "version" of an icon below 32 pixels, they do not. The result is barely distinguishable icons - it's a beautiful detailed picture of a printer at 64 and 128, but at 16 it just looks like a blob. For simpler/metro-style you may consider SyncFusion (which I believe I saw someone else mention).

                Free icon collections are not solution. The best icons and good copyright are stocks. ShutterStock, istockphoto, fotolia, dreamstime, 123fr, depositphotos, bigstockpictures, vectorstock and a graphic designer with experiance.
