WP7 Icons
Icons are an integral part of an app on Windows Phone 7. Most of the time developers will be busy optimizing the app and at times a lot of effort does not go in the design of icons, so wouldn’t it be nice if they can just use a bunch of ready to use professional looking icons for theirs apps ? Billy Barker is offering such a service .
Billy is offering 350 Icons for iOS, Android, and Windows Phone 7 and there are said to be perfectly sized to fit iOS (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch), Android, and Windows Phone 7 devices.
- Windows Phone 7 Application Icons come in a standard 48px size and only come in white.
- iOS Toolbar Icons work on both standard and high resolution devices (2x retina display) and include white, black, and gray color choices.
- Android Menu / Tab Bar Icons come in 3 different sizes to fit low, medium, and high resolution screens and include white, black, and gray color choices.

And what about us Facebook users who just aren’t that much in love with twitter??
It’s like iPhone and Facebook … is something popular, all non-adopters has lost the game.
We see a lot of twitter activity for our posts but not so much on Facebook :( . In the future we will keep our Facebook users in mind .
Two things to mention about the icons:
The image content of the WP7 icons are 48px large. So if you want to use them together with the icons from microsoft, you have to edit this images, resize it to 50% and then enlarge the background back to 48px.
Inverting them to have the icons for the white theme works. No quality issues found for now.
Thanks for sharing your findings with us :)
Hey Michael Alberti – so do the icons actually need to be 24px but the canvas size is 48px? Let me know please, I would like to make sure the icons are ready to use without any additional work.
Thanks :)
Billy, I believe the icons are supposed to be 48×48, 256 bit depth. Additionally they need to be on a transparent background with the actual icon graphic white. This allows the icon flavor to merge with the color theme the user has selected.
