Hey,
One of the things I've been missing lately is a full-fledged emoticons theme. Are there any plans to come up with one?

So far we have these [1] but people are using more and more the Emoji Unicode standard [2]. It would be really-really cool if somebody could look into having a breeze-proof theme.

Cheers!

Yes: viewtopic.php?f=285&t=122712

But those made by Andreas are not final as I'm still making them/creating new ones.

=========

By the way, do the emoticons have to be PNG?, can they be SVG and use gradients? or is there a limitation of the library in that regard.

I've added some emoticons to upstream. https://github.com/NitruxSA/plasma-next ... ter/emotes - I did put them in separate folders: one for face emoticons the other for objects, like Emojione are categorized, this is also used in Whatsapp, Hangouts.. (the categorization).

Obviously.. disregard the shadow around them.

They look really cool Uri! I guess that now we'll have to turn it into a KEmoticons theme, if it hasn't been done. I was thinking about creating a Google Code-in task about it, how does it sound?

Also, fearing I'll be a "party-pooper" but the standard [1] is really extensive, can we maybe fallback on another theme somewhat compatible to Breeze (both in Looks and Licence) or do you plan to draw them all yourself?

Thanks.

We need guidelines for the emoticons first since I just made them and so that others can add more. There's the emojione icons Andreas shared, although they are rather orange and are identical to those of Whatsapp.
