Hi,
is there any place to download all the VB6.0 classics icons? I would like to use them in my app instead of these "treacly icons" available around the internet.

I cannot find them :sick:

Thread moved from "General Discussion / Chit Chat" forum (which is for off-topic issues) to "General Developer" forum

They are on the VB6 CD, so you can copy them from there, or go in to Control Panel and under "Add/Remove Programs" modify your VB6 installation to include them.

Everything would be ok but interested icons are on the BMP with gray background. TlBr_W95. I would use just exactly these.

If you ever have to do another install, choose "Custom" and you will see a check box marked "Graphics". Selecting that option will install all the icons.

Yes I know. I've installed all the graphics. Anyway folder icons contains different icons than in the TlBr_W95 folder. :D It's not so easy.

Sorry, I don't quite understand! Do you mean that the icons you are interested in have a gray background and are in BMP format? I might have a program that will convert these bmp files in to icons.

The bitmaps do have grey backgrounds (as per the standard UI at the time), but as they are 16x16 they are very easy to convert to icons.

Note that you can use the bitmaps directly in your program (with minor editing to change the grey if you like), you do not need to convert them to icons.

If for some reason you do want them in .ico format, I would recommend downloading the IcoFx (a free icon editing program) which does the job well, and will also allow you to change the grey to something else (even transparent if you want).

Indeed icoFX is a great software. I'm just removed gray backgrounds from couple of bmp's, and convert them to ico.
Thanks for help. :thumb:
