Are there free iPhone navigation bar icon sets available?

Question

I want to use up/down icons like the ones used by "mail" in the upper-right corner when you're viewing a specific message. Are these icons available for free anywhere?

Beyond that, are there any sites with free navigation bar, toolbar, or tab bar icons?

Thank you!

This one doesn't seem to have the up and down icons, but it has a myriad of other ones: http://glyphish.com/

Hope this is helpful!

Answer 2

Check out the apple sample project named "NavBar". This has the code for creating a segmented control with an up and down arrow in the upper right corner.

Not sure about the default iPhone icons, but I would check out the FreeDesktop Tango Icon Library, which is now Public Domain and has tons of useful icons. Not sure how well these Icons would integrate with the iPhone look-and-feel, however.

If you're willing to build your own PNGs from a font, check out the Apple Symbols font

What FREE software would I use to build my own icons from that font?

Answer 10

Jordi,

Open an application (most all will allow the following trick) on your Mac.

Go under Edit > Special Characters.

A window will come up.

Make the following settings: View: Glyph Font: Apple Symbols

Scroll all the way to the bottom of the window. The last line should be #5120. You know have what Ole posted. You can poke around in there.
