IconPacks Browser

When it comes to software development, accessibility remains a pillar of the user experience, which is why many app makers include icons within the command ribbons for various actions in certain menus, as a way to enhance the muscle memory that ultimately leads to faster usage patterns, which is where a lightweight and portable utility known as IconPacks Browser provides developers with logos suitable for a plethora of categories and services that you may want to embed in your future projects.

When launching the program, users are greeted to a clean and flat interface that takes certain cues from Microsoft’s early iterations of the Metro Design language, while also making the most of the available screen real estate via the inclusion of functions on the title bar itself, where users can access at any point the source code on GitHub to check for updates, alongside the option for a dark mode during nighttime coding sessions and a custom accent color that can match your Windows’ main theme.

The layout comprises three main sections that can be collapsed or resized in order to accommodate more content, depending on the users’ needs, with the main list of icons on the left side organizing the items in categories that represent their source, style and scope of application to make finding the right logo and similarly designed ones easier.

The middle portion lets you scroll through the elements contained in a category, while clicking on an icon opens up the preview panel, where developers can copy the code necessary for implementing it in their own apps to speed up the process when touching up on the minute details of your user experience. In order to ensure fair use of copyrighted elements, a link to the license page provides access to the most up-to-date version of the terms and conditions.

When settling on a main theme for your app, it is vital for users to be able to discern buttons from the background shade, which is where the options to change an icon’s size, fill and background colors may come in handy. Finally, thanks to the included exporting capabilities, users can save any logo in SVG, XAML or PNG formats to convert into .ico files for use with URL shortcuts on the desktop, if necessary.

If you are looking for a neatly organized and accessible collection of icons for use in the applications you are currently developing, IconPacks Browser may be a great choice, given its elegant interface, automatic code generating capabilities and quick export options that let you speed up the tweaking process in terms of ensuring that the user experience is up to par.
