word_mid.brn
word_mid_press.brn
word_bot.brn
word_bot_press.brn

The files names with "top" in them are the top 2 icons.
The files names with "mid" in them are the middle 2 icons.
The files names with "bot" in them are the bottom 2 icons.

The "press" in the file name means the file is to be used for the IconPressPath registry entry and if the file name does not have "press" in it, use it for the IconPath registry entry.

I'm using this naming convention just in case I decide to make a Configuration tool to modify the icons for my Vista Cube.

This icon pack contains these icon.

Spunks3,
Budney suggested a website for icons. I'm sure there are others out there.
Polen's icons consist of two images: unpressed icon - dark background and icon shadow; pressed icon - lighter background, no icon shadow. Thus, the cool illusion (Polen, please correct me if I'm mistaken).

And do not forget the right dimensions for your icons. Have fun!
