I'm using SMF 2 and the default theme and I'd like to tailor the standard Message Icons a user gets to choose from to the theme of my forum.
I believe I do this one by one by:
- Signing on with my admin User ID
- Going Admin > Forum > Smiley's & Message Icons > Edit Message Icons > Modify the Message Icon of my choice.
- Changing the gif filename to my new gif, and changing the description and the order
Looks easy.
Before I start:
- Where are those gif files saved?
- What size should the gif files I assume all be?
- Can anyone recommend somwhere on the web can I go to get some more tailored to my forum on cheese (or do I have to make my own)?
Thanks!
Don't forget to check the box, Enable customized message icons.
The files are in Themes/default/images/post. Use your own judgement on the size.
Thanks JimD, just found that tick box under Admin > Forum > Smiley's & Message Icons > Settings page.
I checked and SMF's ones appear to be 15 x 15 pixels, so I'll resize my replacements to the same.
Just have to now find a good choice or pre-built Icons!
You may be successful finding some by googling but it will probably end up being something you will have to create yourself. Good luck.
