For years, software developers have had to put up with the same set of toolbar glyphs and icons - easily available, but boring and uninspired low color designs. We also understand that many software companies cannot afford or cannot justify hiring a graphic artist to create high quality toolbar images, splash screens and other interface elements.
The latest operating systems - Microsoft Windows XP, Mac OSX, and Gnome & KDE desktops on Linux - have set a high standard for the look and feel of the applications running on the system. We're determined to provide developers with an affordable way to achieve this new look, with our large collection of high quality stock icons.
Overview
Our stock icon sets will give an instant face-lift to your application, adding color and a more appealing visual style. All of the sets have been designed to work together seamlessly, so no matter what icons you require, you know they will work perfectly.
We recognise that developers have different requirements, and to offer the maximum possible choice, the icon sets are available in three different editions:
Small Edition - contains 16x16 and 24x24 pixels
SE icons are ideal for toolbars, TreeViews, listboxes, combo controls, web sites, product documentation - they are the most versatile and useful images in any developers toolbox. Vista Small Editions also contain 32x32 pixel icons.
Large Edition - contains 32x32, 48x48 and 64x64 pixels
LE icons can be easily converted into application icons, used in Outlook Bar controls, List Views, and they are also great as images for wizard dialogs, web sites and product documentation - the perfect complement to the Small Editions. Vista Large Editions also contain 256x256 pixel icons.
Complete Edition - contains both large and small editions
CE icons are the most cost effective way to purchase both Small and Large Edition sets at the same time. Vista Complete Editions also contain 256x256 pixel icons.
