Find Icons with the Built-In SVG/Icons Search

Not every icon in a product is custom artwork. Toolbar actions, status markers, and settings entries are usually faster to source from a quality icon catalog. Version 6.96 built that step into IconWorkshop: an SVG/Icons Search that queries svgicons.com directly from the application.

What the search gives you

• Direct search and download from a catalog of over 190,000 SVG and bitmap icons, per the 6.96 changelog.
• Icons specifically designed for software user interfaces, which is exactly the small-size, low-detail style that survives 16 and 24 pixel rendering.
• No browser round trip: the result lands in IconWorkshop, where the production formats are made anyway.

From search result to shipping asset

1. Search the catalog from IconWorkshop and download the icon you need.
2. Adjust colors or compose it with Image Objects if the icon needs product-specific branding.
3. Package the result as ICO for Windows shells, or export PNG derivatives for toolbars and web UI.

Combined with the 6.96 SVG compatibility improvements, this turns IconWorkshop into a practical acquisition-plus-packaging station for UI icon work, not just an editor for icons you drew yourself.
