A couple weeks ago, we made a major update to our Office 2010 style icons that brought the bundle to over 80,000 total images.  Once bit of feedback we've gotten from customers is that they'd like to see a similar bundle that is designed in the more modern flat appearance used in Office 2013.

Today we are pleased to announce that we've delivered on this and have released a brand new icons bundle named Icons Metro Essentials that contains over 108,000 total icons!

By the way, these icons look great with the Metro themes found in our WPF Controls.

What's Included?

Icons Metro Essentials includes over 3,600 completely unique icon designs.  Each icon design is implemented in multiple sizes (64x64, 48x48, 32x32, 24x24, and 16x16), multiple states (normal, hot, and disabled), and are delivered in alpha-blended PNG and Icon file types. 

The above example shows the multiple sizes/states for a single icon design.  Notice the pixel-perfect quality of each icon.  These aren't just large icons that were scaled down to various sizes.  Each icon has been individually cleaned up to have clear, crisp lines.

Set Previews

Here's a preview of just some of the 32x32 images found in the bundle:

As a bonus, an additional status bar set is included with white icons that look great on a modern status bar:

Last week we announced that Actipro Icons Essentials v3.0 was released.  Icons Essentials is our main icons bundle, with thousands of unique crisp and clear icon designs.  We also offer an Icons Elements package that consists of various adornments that are intended to be combined with other icons (such as those from Icons Essentials) to create icons with new meanings.

In the example above, an "image" icon was combined with a "hand" element to create a "share image" icon.

Today I'd like to announce that version 2.0 of our Actipro Icons Elements product also launched last week, adding new image designs and new image size variations (64x64, 48x48, 32x32, 24x24, and 16x16) into the mix.  The first version of these icons only included two size variations.  All icons ship in PNG and Icon formats. 

Here's an example of how a couple elements look at each of the size variations:

Note that elements are smaller than normal icons since they are intended to be merged into other existing icons and just change their context.  They afford you the ability to mix and match however you need.

Upgrading to v2.0

If you are an existing Actipro Icons Elements customer, you can upgrade to v2.0 for just $49 per developer.  Bulk discounts are also available.  Please email our sales department for assistance with upgrading.

We’re very happy to announce that v3.0 of our Actipro Icons Essentials product launched today, adding nearly 50,000 new images to the icon bundle!

This new version features a number of new icon designs, but more importantly, the icons now come in five size variations (64x64, 48x48, 32x32, 24x24, and 16x16) instead of just two.  They also all ship in normal, hot, and disabled states, and in PNG and Icon formats. 

Here's an example of the variations for a "table insert row above" icon:

If you have a need for high-quality icons to be used in a web site or application, please have a look at our product.  All our icons are crisp and clear in smaller sizes like 32x32 and 16x16, unlike many competitors who design their icons at larger sizes and never clean up anti-alias artifacts that result when they are scaled down to smaller sizes.
