Drag and Drop Icons

Author	Message
Tom_Z #1 / 4	Drag and Drop Icons I'm not completely happy with the MSDN drag and drop icons and have been looking around for some better ones. Despite digging through web page after web page, I'm not finding what I'm looking for. I like the drag'n'drop icons used in Lotus Smartsuite. When you hover the mouse over the object to be grabbed it looks like an open hand reaching in, then when you click to drag it looks like that same hand grabbed the object. Here's a screenshot: http://www.--*.com/ ~tm120176050/scs/lotusdragdrop.htm If anyone knows where I can get similar freely usable icons, if you would please let me know, I would appreciate it. Yes, I'll write to Lotus Corp for permission, but they haven't been as responsive as I would like in the past.

Some are free, some not but generally cheap as chips. You can spend a half an hour and make up your own icons with those. I even remember seeing some online icon editors.. but not sure how good they are, or if free. -- Regards, Frank

Personally I would just cut out the ones you want, personalize them (for taste - not copyright) and use them You have to remember that the original Lotus was a blatant rip-off of Visicalc - by a guy who used to be employed by Visicorp Lotus only started trying to sue people after they bought Visicorp What is sauce for the goose is ... Also 'passing off' is pretending to be someone you are not - copyrighting a little icon is not exactly ... well that practical

Mauree #4 / 4	Drag and Drop Icons Why not just take them without asking. The Lotus people will understand that. They specialise in it ;-) Mike Quote: > I'm not completely happy with the MSDN drag and drop icons and have > been looking around for some better ones.
