[edit] My humble opinion on External Links

My opinion is that none of the collections of icons all over the web should be added to this article. The point of external links is to provide more information on a topic, and icon collections don't do this. Furthermore, once one gets added, it makes it harder to justify removing others, and the list of external links will quickly grow out of control. Unless an editor can show the collection they are adding is somehow more notable than all the others you can find on Google, or can add to the reader's knowledge of this subject, then it shouldn't be added. --Transfinite (Talk / Contribs) 04:13, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Upon further consideration, I added a link to Open Directory Project's page on icons for readers who are looking for icon collections. --Transfinite (Talk / Contribs) 04:28, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Microsoft's Guidelines on Icons

The page features Microsoft's guidelines for Windows XP. However, Windows Vista Icon Development Guidelines were released few months ago. The temporary status of this document should not prevent it from posting. First, it's up to date and used by icon designers worldwide to create thousands of icons. Second, the link should remain the same after Microsoft ends up editing the article. Visualpharm 11:29, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] What does this mean?

From the article:

“

2. Square-grabbing (large or small area, top/bottom, left/right, centred/perimeter)

”
