User Interface Icons

Question

Does anyone know where I can find well-designed user interface icons?

I'm looking for 16x16 icons for a toolbar that I'm designing. I really enjoy the OS style, but I need some that will fit well with Vista.

Answer 4

If you have Visual Studio and are just looking for standard Windows application icons you might want to check the icons coming with Visual Studio. Per default they are placed into:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\VS2008ImageLibrary
