I have found plenty of icons online, but have yet to find images for other types of controls except 1-off examples. For example - buttons, tabs, dropdown menus, sliders, table headers, panel headers, etc. I've found plenty of tutorials, but our attempts always look bad in comparison (particularly for buttons and tabs).
