Windows Phone SDKs comes with icons that one can also use when developing an app, especially when creating an app bar (aka ApplicationBarIconButton ), These icons are located at C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Phone\vX.X\Icons\ There are different sets of icons, namely the dark icons set for use with a dark windows phone theme, and light icons set for use with light theme, and there is also vector based icons set.
