Agree, Go for the resource that you can get easily - Icon libs rock anyways... how many hours can you waste looking through awesome icons when you should be writing code... I've crapped hundreds of hours away :)

Therefore, whether vector or bitmap, chances are you'll be designing different versions of the same icon for different sizes.

The images are a bit hit and miss, some are great, some not so much.

I can do them myself but I'm a bit slow and don't have a graphics designer by my side. I know there are plenty of converters, as well documented here, but you do need something to convert : http://blogs.msdn.com/mswanson/pages/WPFToolsAndControls.aspx I also had hopes for this visio -> xaml but it doesn't work on my machine : http://visioautomation.codeplex.com<http://visioautomation.codeplex.com/> Or I am on the wrong track, perhaps icons are best left as pngs and I should just invest in an icon library such as http://www.iconshock.com/ and forget about it ? _______________________________________________ ozsilverlight mailing list ozsilverlight@ozsilverlight.com http://prdlxvm0001.codify.net/mailman/listinfo/ozsilverlight<http://sigads.rediff.com/RealMedia/ads/click_nx.ads/www.rediffmail.com/signatureline....@middle?> <http://sigads.rediff.com/RealMedia/ads/click_nx.ads/www.rediffmail.com/signatureline....@middle?>
