There's a couple places you could look. There's an XPM library in the Archive, if you hunt around you can find some nice open/save icons (I think they're in the 'file' folder). For one app, I used the Print Screen key to steal the icons from Microsoft Wordpad and converted them to XPM files. I can send them to you or upload them to the Archive if you'd like. ~Greg On Wed, 16 Feb 2005 12:31:17 -0800, Al Getz <guest at rapideuphoria.com> wrote: > > posted by: Al Getz <Xaxo at aol.com> > > Matt Lewis wrote: > > > > Al Getz wrote: > > > > > > > > > Hello, > > > > > > Recently i've been trying some tool bars in an app and i just > > > dont see the point, other than to maybe "make it look like other > > > windows applications", so big deal > > > > > > In other words, they seem somewhat not as useful as ordinary > > > bitmap or owner drawn buttons, where you can use different sizes. > > > > > > All the toolbar seems to do is take up room in the window. > > > > Then don't put them in.
