I still have never needed much more than Everaldo’s crystal clear icons. I like to make my own, too. I’m not a UI developer though :).

some of these sets have a very odd definition of free, some of them are even for-sale, others limit you to using them only for non-commercial projects, or only on web sites, not apps while almost all of them require a link back somewhere.

One of the licenses said I couldn’t use them for anything personal or commercial. Thank you for the resources but the license terms are different for each one.
