Many GUI toolkit ( like wx and gtk ) have a standard stock of icons for
common tasks ( load, save, ok, cancel, ...).

I don't even know how to search for them, because I'm not sure how to
word it. I tried Googling various things: icons, software graphics,
application icons, custom graphics, etc, etc. But I'm not getting much
luck here you guys.

Also, besides just finding a collection of various pre-made icons, who
would I talk to to make me some original custom made icons? I'll look
for hours and find one or two places, but they never respond to my
messages, so I figure they must not do that kind of art work.

I'm looking for both: a collection of graphics and some place (or
someone) that can make custom original graphics. The latter is just
for future reference. The more important one is the former, because I
can't even afford to pay for originals right now. But maybe I will
soon, so it would be nice to have a resource.

Thanks in advance,
Joshua
