Is there a nice, free set of icons and/or images I can use in my WPF apps? I have the VS2012 image library, but visually searching that monster for even basic things like standard message box icons takes hours. I can't seem to find anything, and I need to find things quickly, or just forego icons for now.

Yes, you can find icons made from third-party designers, and then add them to your project having WPF framework. For example, from this answer you can use already built icons from Microsoft if you're having a purchased version of Visual Studio. Read more here...[^]. If you read this answer, then there are three other links that you can use to search for packages for icons. Of which, you might consider going to this URL: https://www.iconfinder.com/[^].

Now, coming for a third-party package, this Modern UI Icons[^] package is a great package that you can use. You can download the .zip file to add this to your project. Hopefully this would be enough for your use too. :)

I'm often using icons from the Open Icon Library[^]. They are organized into groups, have descriptive names, and can be previewed using the Windows explorer.

There are also special download packages for the three main licenses Public Domain, GPL, and Creative Commons.

GPL icons require that your software is also using GPL. CC icons can't be used by GPL software. Wit CC icons you must check the specific license terms (e.g. NC - not commercial).
