Smilies updated
« on: August 05, 2003, 05:25:04 PM »
Ok, I have updated the smilies and got rid of the one universal smiley that everyone hated.

I know that some don't like the new smilies, and I respect that, but for now that's tough.  You're free to use whatever smilies you like on your own forum, PLUS, the cool coders here are writing a script that will allow you to select your smilie package (I believe).  Most people do like the new smilies, so we're going to stick with them for a while.  Besides, they're cute.

Point is, the  :D and  ;D smilies are updated.

I'm using 1280 x 1024 resolution.  the gold is too bright on them and the mouth fades in, so i can't tell which way it is pointing without getting closer to the screen.

My res is 1440x900 (16:10 display) and they look just fine.  Sorry, not changing them.

If you are using a Mac G5, then no doubt, your screen is huge.

Just because they look fine for you doesn't mean they look fine for everyone :(

[sorry if I sound a bit rude, its been a long day]

Alright, I'm just very picky about graphics. (Probably has something to do with the design workshop I was at two weeks ago)

Then ensure your monitor is calibrated correctly.  If your contrast is all the way up and your brightness is all the way down... You loose 2 coolness points.

Nope, not on a G5, they are not shipping yet.

really?

ah, would it be possible to take the animation out of :-\ : - \ and just leave the mouth to our right so as not to get it confused with  ::) : : ) (rolling eyes)? why have just that one animated anyway?

I don't like them at all. Smilies at this size should be very basic otherwise its kind of hard to tell what the expression is.

Are they even circles anymore?

I would make them have more contrast at least.

Hmm, I don't want to say my opinion again :-X. The colors are not different enough to see the emotion in a quick look (grammar ?).
