I have an application which will support several standard operations
play
stop
pause
undo
I'd like to have images for those buttons. I've been searching through vs2005 image library but the images there are non consistent. For example the play button (playhs.bmp) is green while stop (stophs.bmp) is blue.
Also I haven't found an undo image
what other common images bundles are there out there? Or is there something like an addon to vs2005 image library?
I'd like something free if possible

Lots of excellent free icons packs!
This site should help you out:

I recommend the free Silk icons set for small 16x16 icons.

Does anyone know how to resize an image in Magnolia CMS 5.0 without cropping it? I have handled to work with the Assets module and the options that it provides for adapting images to my preferences. However, it just provides (as far as I know) the option to crop and zoom those images. I wonder if that module is configurable to show those options? I attach a screnshot with the options that I can see in the Assets module. Thanks in advance!
This might sound a bit odd, but the image editor doesn't resize images.
Instead, Magnolia is designed with the idea that editors will upload a single high-quality images and that Magnolia will generate variations of the image as needed by the site design.
Check out http://wiki.magnolia-cms.com/display/DOCS/Responsive+Web+design#ResponsiveWebdesign-Optimizedimages for more details.
Also, if you want to get more timely answers, I'd recommend posting your questions to the Magnolia forums: http://forum.magnolia-cms.com
I am familiar with the standard application icon images that come with the Windows Phone sdk, but I would like to use some of these images as demonstrated on the standard start screen, with the 173x173 dimensions for the application tiles. I've tried resizing these, but they are so blurry they aren't worth using. Is there a place to download the same (or similiar) images that come with SDK except in a larger size?
Also have a look at the Icons8 icon pack, they only ask for a link to their site or $199 without a link
Have a look at Metro Studio by Syncfusion. I use it in all my applications and its free.
Is there any software or psd template to make multi platform (iphone, ipad, browser...) website screenshots like these:

I'm looking for something that gives you all the shadow effects, iphone/ipad frames, etc OOTB, and not just a traditional screen capture app like Snagit
Thanks
You should try PlaceIt for adding your designs in more "real life" environments.
Just choose a scene and drop your design on it.

This kind of wizardry always makes clients happy!
You could also use this. http://ami.responsivedesign.is/ I use Firebug to change the background color to what I need.
You could use Browsershots:

I am building a site with jquery. This site is all about numbers, statistics and progress so I created it mostly with progress bar to indicate the totals. At the moment I changed the progress bar into different colors, but am wondering if anyone knows a site where I can find nice images for the progress bar? I have searched google but can't seem to find any descent one.
Please help.
thanks.
You can generate a large variety of basic animated "waiting" icons on http://www.ajaxload.info
For more complex ones, try http://preloaders.net or http://www.loadinfo.net
Maybe try an open source Windoze installer such as NSIS http://nsis.sourceforge.net and it's associated plugins such as http://nsis.sourceforge.net/LoadingBar_UI ?
Instead of a regular progress bar, how can I make a circle with spokes that rotate telling the user that that my program is loading?
EDIT: I want it in Windows Forms
Ok thanks Tim, your solution works. I had to set the image by code since importing it in the designer froze it up.
I normally go to http://ajaxload.info/ and put one of their animated GIFs in a PictureBox.
This is the one I actually used in one of my apps
Circular Progress indicator.This second one is for WPF apps.
