Where do you get your MACRO ICONS

I've developed a bunch of VBA macros that I depend on regularly. I have them in a custom toolbar, but they all have the same default SolidWorks icon.
1) Have you found a 'library' of useful icons that work well for this purpose?
2) Do you have a utility that makes it quick and easy to make your own custom icons?
Thank You

I did find this tip at
https://www.javelin-tech.com/blog/2020/ ... olidworks/
Code: Select all
Extra:
As you can see above, the Macro button has a generic icon image. If you want to apply a unique image for the Macro button, click “Choose Image” under “Appearance” in Step7. SOLIDWORKS provides bitmap images to use for custom buttons which can be found in install_dir\data\user macro icons.
(Eg. C:\Program Files\SOLIDWORKS 2020\SOLIDWORKS\data\user macro icons)
You can also create your own bitmap images that are 16×16 pixels, 256 colours, and with a white background.
In my case, the path is C:\Program Files\SOLIDWORKS Corp\SOLIDWORKS\data\user macro icons\
It only contains 14 icons.

Personally i "created" mine in PPT and then save as png then convert to bmp...
Most of the time i will get the "base icon" (eg: icon for Save, Dimension, Note, etc) from solidworks help page. After that change the icon colour using PPT recolour function so that it will not get confuse with the original icon. In some cases, i will add some additional symbol (eg: arrow for export, x for clear, etc)

I don't use icons for macros because vba icons look awful. Explanation is enough for me. Macro icons made with C# are nice.
