What is an Icon Set?
An icon set is a grouping of icons put together for organizational purposes. While
there are no specific guidelines on how
icon sets
should be organized, best practice is that the images they contain share a common
theme and style. This ensures a consistent look and feel and allows companies to
purchase a single set of icons pre-tailored to their specific industry or intended
use. This term is also used synonymously with icon collection, icon package, and
icon pack.
What is an Icon Library?
An icon library is a comprehensive or "complete" offering of icons composed of one
or more icon sets.
Technical Note:
This term is often confused with the filetype '.ICL' (Windows Icon Library) which
was popular years ago due to its ability to embed 100s of images into a single,
but massive file. Windows icon libraries have since been discontinued by most icon
companies in favor of compact, platform-independent formats such as PNG. For this
reason, all of our bitmapped icon packs come in several different formats (GIF,
PNG, ICO, BMP, etc.). This ensures full compatibility with every major operating
system (Windows, Linux, Mac, etc.), most development platforms, and the World Wide
Web.
Will your Vista Icons work on Windows XP?
Yes, all of our
VISTA Icons
are fully-compatible with the XP operating system and can even
be used for web development by utilizing the GIF and
PNG icons
that we supply with each VISTA set. "Vista Icons" in the context of our site refers
only to a "style" and not a specific ICO file format.
What type of license do the icons have? Can I make changes to the icons?
Please refer to our
license agreement
for all licensing-related questions.
Do you have any sample icons available for download?
Yes, you can
