Hi

Where do i find all the icons for app bar in metro windows 8 ? How do i add a custom one ?

Answer 1

You find icons for Metro apps in the character map under 'Segoe UI Symbol' font. Not sure how to add custom ones though.

Also, for custom icons from an app-provided graphic, see Scenario 3 of the HTML AppBar
control sample.
