Hi there
I was wondering whether it's possible to use the icons you're using in the xamRibbon ApplicationMenu as demonstrated in the feature browser:
<igRibbon:XamRibbon.ApplicationMenu> <igRibbon:ButtonTool Caption="Open" LargeImage="\Images\icons\Ribbon\Open_Large.png"/> <igRibbon:ButtonTool Caption="Save"/>
I couldn't find them anywhere - are they copyrighted or free to re-use?

I have one more question.
are there any video tuts demonstrating an app being constructed from beginning to end just so I can get some tips and learn the best techniques as far as creating a GUI the right way? Basically using various controls and how to combine those controls in an efficient way.
Thank You
There is no tutorial. However, the icon formats follow standard conventions.
The .ico icons are useful for using with Windows Explorer. For example, your application icon can be assigned a .ico in your project settings.
The .png formats come in various shapes and sizes because you should never resize raster images in a project as that slows down performance. Choose the size you wish to use, add the .png files to your project and start referencing them directly in XAML or code. If you place the .png files into a folder in a project named Images, you would reference the icon images in XAML:
<Image Source="Images/Business.png" />
You can also use the pack keyword which is mainly necessary for accessing images in a secondary assembly:
"pack://application:,,,/Images/Search.png"
Or for assigning the image from code:
ImageSource="pack://application:,,,/Images/CloseButton.png"
Finally, if you wish to use the XAML versions of our icons, then you can embed these graphics directly into your XAML.
Please let us know if you need further help.
