What I think is one of the more important things many developers overlook... |

David | Professional icons and glyphs.
I used to use glyphs from the public domain and they looked like they were designed that way. After getting frustrated and tired by continually looking for just the right glyph (and never finding it). After a while, I finally bit the bullet and bought a full set from glyfz.com. Quick disclosure: I will be speaking about purchases mostly from glyfx.com because that is where I purchased most of my glyphs. There are a ton of other places to purchase high quality glyphs and icons. I just thought glyfx were as high quality as the others yet much cheaper. I started off with the standard set and then went with an office 2003 version. I purchased this set from ionworx http://www.ionworx.com/icons.html Having a consistent and professional look through the use of high quality glyphs makes a huge difference. Finding the exact glyphs that is needed really does help convey the intended meaning. Better still, the glyphs come in different sizes so the glyph can stay consistent no matter if it is in a button, dialog, listbox, or any other control. Glyfx released glyphs in 128x128 and I modified those to use as icons. A bonus of purchasing professional icons and glyphs is the ability to use those same icons in a professional looking website and documentation. I think that purchasing professional icons and glyphs are well worth the money. Well, except for those that are prohibitively expensive. |

"Jerry Clancy" | Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe that these can be used
with the AtoZed Intraweb product (and ditto for the TMS IW component set). Pity.

Jon Lloyd Duerdoth | I didn't buy a lot of sets from Glyfx (I'm on a retiree budget )
but the ones I did buy are very nice and certainly improve the look of my apps.
