Common smiley support

<< < (2/3) > >>

Tragen:
So what is so funny? You still need an easy way to select the smileys like in Signal/Telegram/Threema/...
You can say it's Unicode and you can enter whatever you want. Sure. But there should be an easy way to select
from smiley categories like in the mentioned messengers. Miranda NG is far away from being comfortable.

AnrDaemon:
Perhaps I'm too old… but I don't need a smiley sending program. I need a communication client.

Robyer:
AnrDaemon, yes, perhaps you are too old :-) Smileys provide another layer of communication (= emotions) and it feels really different to use them and not. But that's bit offtopic. :)

I agree with "common (emoji) smiley support" in SmileyAdd. That whole plugin needs many improvements...

Tragen:
I've tried to write unicode smileys but it looks like the font doesn't support it and the
font substitution in MNG isn't done correctly.
You could support it with http://emojione.com/ like Mozilla does with Firefox.

Try to paste any of this smileys into MNG. At least with Scriver it doesn't work.
Here is the link as pasting the smiley into this forum doesn't work.
http://emojipedia.org/unicode-8.0/

Robyer:
Tragen, your Windows must support that. You need to choose correct font, for example Segoe UI Emoji on Windows 10 supports these Unicode 8.0 emojis.

EDIT: And when creating smileypack make sure you save it with correct codepage (I don't remember if UTF-8 or UTF-16), you can inspire by my working Facebook Emojis - http://miranda-ng.org/distr/addons/Smileys/facebook_emoji.zip
