Overview:

An application without graphics and icons is akin to an art museum without paintings - everything is working, tickets are being sold and visitors are coming in, but something seems to be wrong, as there is simply nothing to see. Today's highly competitive market makes every single aspect of an application extremely important - and, of course, interface design and usability that form the general appeal of a program are crucial for its success. A well-organized interface coupled with unambiguous and clear icons is an excellent incentive for users to prefer your product over another one even if functionalities largely overlap. Every time you replace a certain frequently used command with an icon, you save several second's of your user's time, which results in minutes each weak and possibly hours each month! If you are creating a Windows application and haven't yet decided on the icons to use for your interface, just take a closer look at Standard Software Icons. Standard Software Icons is large set of eye-caching software-related icons meticulously created by professional artists. This icon collection covers a wide range of objects, actions and notions commonly used in all kinds of applications - from basic user dialogs to web browsing, from scheduling to group policies, from database management to taking notes and more. The set is an ideal choice for navigation panels and toolbars of all sorts. Standard Software Icons come in a variety of sizes - 16x16, 20x20, 24x24, 32x32, 48x48, 256x256 - and three basic states - normal, disabled and hot. The large maximum size of the icons (256x256) allows you to use them for offline publishing purposes. Finally, the icons are provided in a number of file formats - BMP, ICO, PNG, GIF - which makes manual conversion unnecessary. If all you need to finish you programming masterpiece is a set of cool-looking, vivid and crystal-clear icons of the general software-related profile, look no further than Standard Software Icons.
