    Icons

    Hi,

    I am developing an EPOS system in C#. My interface would look alot better if I had some graphics for the button, but I don't have the skills to produce these.

    Is there anyone who would be willing to help me with this?

    Thank you

    p.s. The attached image shows my interface at its current stage

    Some of the sets on this page can be used commercially. Just check the public usage license that is posted with each set.

    this forum area is not for questions. You should ask a moderator to move this to "general developer"

    that being said, standard interface images are always the best. red x for delete, a database style up and down set of 4 arrows like access uses on its forms.

    Check out the images that come with visual studio. For 2008, they are located here:
    C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\VS2008ImageLibrary\1033\VS2008ImageLibrary.zip

    Older versions have similar paths. Unzip the folder somewhere and then look in \Actions\pngformat. You'll find some standard icons in there that other programs also use.

    Re: Icons

    I noticed that all the icons from the VS2008ImageLibrary have black backgrounds. How do I make the background transparent when I add the image to my buttons?

    Re: Icons

    i would only complain that the arrows dont match your orientation. rotate them 90 degrees
