Question

I found the Application Bar icons in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Phone\v7.0\Icons, but this folder does not contain the following standard icons:

• button that shows the month view in the calendar
• button that switches to contacts in phone
• button that opens tabs in Internet Explorer

I want to stick to the WP7 look and feel, so where can I find these icons?

Answer 1

It is unclear to me why Microsoft did not include all icons in the icon pack. Pedro Lamas acquired a bigger collection of icons from some binary files. The collection is available on his blog: http://www.pedrolamas.com/2011/03/12/wp7-application-bar-icons/ I hope it contains the icons you need.

I don’t know what you plan on doing with the application you are building, but keep in mind that using icons obtained from a binary might not be fully legal.

Update:
On his blog Templarian is also sharing a lot of designs for WP7 icons, a very useful addition to the existing collection. He’s also taking suggestions through twitter for new designs. Check out his icon collection with over 100 icons here
