A blog for DevSource.com.

This blog was originally part of the blogs.ziffdavis.com site from May 2005 through June 2007 when the blog was moved to the Movable Type blog engine and hosted at blog.devsource.com/devlife.
The original blog was eventually shut down and I was given the posts so that I could host them on my own site.

Looking for the new distributable icons in VS2005

In January, I got very excited about Soma's announcement that Microsoft was finally going to update the ancient bitmaps and other graphics included for reuse in our development tools. I think I have been using the same ones since 1995!

Remembering that recently, I thought I would go dig around my Beta2 bits to check them out...but can't find them anywhere in this most recent install. I started looking inside the "Common7" folder where they have always been and then finally just searched the entire Microsoft Visual Studio 8 folder. To no avail. Hopefully the plans are still there and we'll have these by release???

Update: Thanks to Wesner's comment, I looked harder. (Wesner has been a compatriot in the campaign for new icons!) No they weren't installed. So I went back to the install DVD and finally found what I was looking for!! After updating my installation, the zip file was exactly where Mike said it would be.
