Windows 8 Metro apps – a lot of icons are available out of the box !

When I first looked for the icons, I first searched for pictures. I found none of them. So I digged a little more on the sample and I found out that icons where here as a Font. This is in fact a really good idea for several reasons :

1. Fonts are vectorial.
2. You can choose the colors of the icons just by changing a parameters.
3. No need to add a lot of images files to your project
4. It’s really easy to use/code !
