DevExpress Icon Library

Definitelly I & my customers prefer traditional icons, no Metro UI or Win10 flat icons (or even worse: black icons)

Great, I use them all the time!

I have to stick with the traditional colored icons simply because I require several that aren't in the DX library, and it's easier to find similarly-styled icons from public sources like iconarchive.com.

Colored all the way for me - I can't stand the new icon style, they're drab and washed out looking

I don't mind flat icons so long as they are colorful and meaningful. Most metro icons like what is found in VS is un-usable. What you have so-far for DevAV and Office 2013 are nice, but I would need more choices. Plus, 24x24 would be greatly appreciated!

we use all of them

Thanks for the new icons

Love the DevAv icons. My customers prefer them. They add a clean and simplistic UI.

Few days ago I replaced all colored icons from my project to new office 2013 and I think it was a good move. Now interface looks simplier and modern. But I had to create few additional icons by myself. Definitely worth it. Thanks.

Coloured with a bit of gloss works for me :-)

I make extensive use of IconShock icons which are grouped into categories such as Business, Database, Security, Medical etc. though as your icon collection is expanding I am finding I am using your icons more frequently.

We actually use both styles in our applications, but sticking with one style for a specific icon(i.e.: flat style for the checkmark and cancel, and the colored style for the close).  We simply choose with regards to which one is better and clearer, for the end user.  The same thinking is used for any icons that are not part of the DevExpress Icon Library.

I'll echo what the others have said - I'd never use the flat icons - they look terrible (bit like the whole metro thing).

On a more positive note, the other coloured icons are fantastic.

I have not checked all of them but can add Clients, Venues, Suppliers, Quotes, Invoices, Timesheets, Proposals if not there. These are fairly generic.

I have come up with a few more . Take your pick. :)

Accounts, Activity, Archive, Availability, Bookings, Breach, Business Divisions, Client Forecast, Collection, Confirmation, Contact Status, Contact Type, Contacts, Counties, Countries, Credit Note, Current/Active, Deductions, Delivery, Departments, Drinks, Enquiries, Equipment, Event Type, Events, Events List, Experience, Feedback, Financial/Finance, Find Credit Note, Find Event, Find Invoice, Find Quote, Food Items, Health & Safety, Invoice Address, Live Stock, Location, Lost, Lost Pitch, Mailshot, Marketing, Monthly Sales Analysis, Nationality, Options, Payment Frequency, Payment Methods, Payment Terms, Payments, Payroll, Preferences, Prospect, Quotes List, Recruitment, References, Register Staff/Contact, Reprimand, Security, Setup, Source, Staff, Staff Rates, Staff Roles, Stations, Stock, Stock Entry, Stock Take, Successful, Tax Codes, TBC, Templates, Terms & Conditions, Text/SMS, Training, Units, Unknown, VAT/Sales Tax, Visa Type

I'd like to move to the new icons, I like the 2013 look myself. But like someone else said, if you need icons that aren't common you can almost certainly find them with traditional coloring. I can't bring myself to mix and match so continue on with the colored ones even if it looks a little odd to me with an Office2013 theme. If Microsoft doesn't reverse field, though, and continues in this fashion I think I'll just have to have the custom icons done if they aren't in a newer style.

The flat icons really only match well with the Office-themed skins. They look a bit out of place with the DX skins. It would be cool to be able to tie an icon set with a group of skins so that if an end-user chose a DX skin (like Coffee or Caramel), they'd see the traditional colored skins, but the application would switch to the flat skins if they choose a modern Office theme.

Colored and traditional is the one I prefer

I noticed that you have many icons in XAF that's not in the icon library , would be nice to add those too

Please add option to import external icons.

If there was a specific skin that reflected the Windows 10 look in XAF, I think we would consider using the flat icons but the existing icon set you provide is amazing.

Additional icons that we end up creating are:

Client (Casual, not a worker)

Child

Business (Non industrial compared to BO_Organization)

Business Group (A collection of businesses or an umbrella company)

Project (We relate this to a collection of tasks and the BO_Folder doesn't quite fit)

;)

I prefer the "flat" look for one reason only... laziness... Our app has a lot of domain specific functionality for which we generally have to try and find "something close" or create our own. Creating icons that tend toward more simplistic and a limited color palette is A LOT easier.

Speaking of color palette, any chance of you guys publishing the palette used for the flat ones, or any design guidance (i.e. what software *you* use to create them)?

The new flat icons are great but as John01 said, we could do with a few more and his list is just about right.

I like them all, and right now I'm using the Flat style for the app I'm developing. Good job guys.

I like the flat icons better.  And I'd really like to see you guys add the following icons:

-append row

-insert rows (not cells)

-a closed folder (not open)
