Creating icons for WebCT

I find the selection of icons that WebCT provides to be limiting. You can either find new icons or create your own icons.

1. find icons

Sets on the University of Edinburgh site (a variety of icons, some of them from older versions of WebCT)

City College of San Francisco (a crisp icon set, downloadable in a variety of colours).

When downloading icons from other locations, please be sure to give appropriate acknowledgement to the copyright owner.

2. resize existing photos or images

If you have photographs on your computer that would make suitable visual icons, you can resize them easily using this online software. Your icons should be 70 to 100 pixels in height and or width.

Try Resizr to modify your own images.

    I found some more free images that could be used as icons.

    These ones are coloured buttons.
