I've used a nice public domain C++ DES implementation before, but now I need some simple, basic, fast cryptography for an embedded system.

I have source Forge projects, but this files are somew...
I'm looking for some public domain images to use for buttons, progress bars, and other common GUI components. I can't find any with Google and a Creative Commons search only returns screenshots of programs. Is there anything out there for those of us who want a purdy GUI but have zero graphic design skills? ...
