I'm currently working on a Windows 8.1 App. I want to set the Icon on an AppBarButton. There are a lot of Icons and i would like have an overview. Is there any or do i have to make one by myself? I would like to have an overview over the Icons and not only the name within Intellisense.
<AppBarButton x:Name="btnTest" Icon="Accept" Label="Test" />
Look into properties in you commandbar. In the common section you have primary and secondary commands. Just click button with three dots ... and in the opened window you can add buttons with creator where you can see every available icon.

I want to have modern framework tab control (like in image) with close buttons that are removing tab like in chrome or firefox

is there any custom tab control like this or way to do this?
I've used fabtab in the past and it provides the features you are looking for. It is WPF.

I need to create an app that has a few setttings that need to be set before the application can continue i would like to do that using some sort of wizard. I looked at other apps and found that the 'Kid's corner' app does exactly what i want.
My question is is that a default control or is it a custom control. If it's a custom control how would one create one.
There is no specific template to accomplish this task. The most common way to do it would be to create a separate page for the wizard. On the page you'll use various controls to actually create a settings page. Most likely these will include Textblock (for static text), TextBox (for text entry), and ToggleSwitch for binary (e.g. On/Off) options. Here's an example of what you could use to create a very simple welcome wizard that allows the user to turn live tiles on or off.
<TextBlock Text="Welcome to the app!">
<ToggleSwitch x:Name="toggleSwitch1" Header="Turn on live tiles?"
OnContent="On" OffContent="Off"
Toggled="ToggleSwitch_Toggled"/>
If you need more info please ask :)

How do I add an appbar with buttons to a Windows Phone 8.1 app using the Hub template?
I do not see any clear examples of how to do this.
Specifically, using the Hub template, I want to add appbar menu items to the ItemsPage.xaml.
In Windows Phone 8.1 projects you have to use the CommandBar API.
Take a look on this guide, it's for Windows 8.1, but the syntax is exactly same. Note that you have to only use the BottomAppBar where the PrimaryCommands are displayed as standard AppBar buttons as we know them, and the SecondaryCommands are displayed as Menu Items.
I'm working on a program that can play songs off an iPod. I want to be able to put functional Back, Play/Pause and Next buttons on its Aero Peek thumbnail like this:

How would I do this in VB6?
EDIT: Can I also create a jump list for my app? For this app, I only need taskbar jump lists. For others, I'll need taskbar and start menu jump lists so posting code to achieve both would be appreciated.
EDIT 2: I have uploaded a sample of how to use the ITaskBarList3 interface to add buttons to the window preview (and handle their click events), add an icon overlay, clip the window preview and add a progress bar to the program's taskbutton. Download it here.
Look at the Taskbar Thumbnail Toolbar feature of Windows Explorer. This does use a COM interface so I don't know how practical it is to use for VB but I beliver the IDLs are available if you look.
You can also find a C# example and the UI guidelines on MSDN.
The Jumplist information is also covered on the same pages.
When I click on buttons in the menu bar (such as "About Program") when the program is running a new window pops up displaying information. How do I edit the windows associated with the buttons?
In Interface builder I manage to load "Main Menu" which allows me to customize the menu bar, but it doesn't allow me to work with the windows associated with the buttons. How would I edit these windows?
Mac OSX Snow Leopard, Xcode 3.2.6
EDIT: I am not specifically asking for steps for the "About Panel". I am looking for a general procedure for editing panels associated with buttons in the menu bar. In addition to the "About" panel I would also want to work with panels such as the "Help" panel. The "About" panel was just an example.
The standard About panel isn't in your nib; it's generated within the framework.
You can change the text of the panel by writing a Credits.rtf or Credits.html file and including that in your app bundle. (You may already have Credits.rtf supplied by the project template. If so, you should just edit that.)
If you want to make more radical changes, you'll need to create your own panel and change your About menu item to show it instead.
As far as a general procedure...no, there's no single procedure that would let you customize any standard panel in the same way. They all have their own mechanisms (e.g. some can display more panes when plug-in components are installed; some provide APIs to hide or show certain parts; some, like the About box, use bundle filename conventions to decide what to do).
For the Help panel specifically...you can't change anything about it except the web page (i.e. the help content). The toolbar, etc. is all handled by Apple. I suggest looking at this documentation for more, which also links to other important documents:
