Hi, I'm just wondering if Microsoft allow developers to use their icons in our applications? like all the ones in 'shell32.dll' Thanks!

I saw once a page on msdn which showed some graphics taht MS had realeased for public use, but I can't find a link to it now. There's a special FAQ on microsoft site regarding copyrights and in particular regarding the use of graphics. There are some things, for which the graphics may be used. For example, use of graphics on www.regnow.com is legitimate, while use of XP Theme files (Luna theme) on non-XP systems is not. -- Eugene Mayevski EldoS Corp., CTO Security and networking solutions http://www.eldos.com Back to top Eddie Shipman Guest Posted: Fri Aug 22, 2003 5:18 pm    Post subject: Re: Using Microsoft's Icons?

I'm just wondering if Microsoft allow developers to use their icons in our applications? like all the ones in 'shell32.dll' Have you tried asking them? In my 1999 article for the Informant on using MS Agents with Delphi, I took a screenshot of "Peedy" the parrot and resized it to a 32X32 icon. They didn't allow me to use THAT, so I created an icon that looked like a saltine cracker. They OK'd that one. Be very wary of them and their "intellectual" property issues. I'm afraid that the little multi-colored butterfly toolbar icon in the demo app for my new article on Hotmail with Delphi isn't going to pass, either.

Without that license, however, you'll need explicit permission from Microsoft.

When will that be published? Hopefully by January. I've been having problems with the demo app but may have them fixed in a short time. The first 2 parts are already written and will need some tweaking. The third part is about to be started.
