Hi
There is an entire story with those bitmaps/icons
-pictures/icons are stored as resources in EXE/DLL, but in a raw format, without the antialiasing effect present in normal display.
-can be extracted with resource managers (one freeware utility is Resource Hacker)
-bitmaps are many in a single picture, from where are extracted by cliping, I suppose.

But, even one manage to extract them, clip them to standard 16/24/32 images and replace the black background with white, looks ugly, because VFP don't display with antialiasing effects when used for buttons.
GDIplus class library from here can help, but lack of antialiasing still remains and the display doesn't look good

PS: download my Outlook listbar class, you can find there some already "maybe processed" images which can be used (262/3 - normal/highlight/disabled).


>Capturing with Printscreen does not give top quality icons of the sort that XP uses.
>I doubt this is what Universalthread has done as their icons are pretty good quality.
