Smilies are small icons that replace text. This helps the client look cooler. An example of one is :) which is replaced to by default. That specific smiley can be changed.
Predefined smiley sets
default|modern|rainbow
- | | | :) or :-)
- | | | :( or :-(
- | | | :D or :-D
- | | (--) | :s or :-s
- | | | :/ or :-/
- | | | :P , :-P , :p or :-p
- | | | :O , :-O , :o or :-o
- | | | ;) or ;-)
"Default" are the smilies that come pre-loaded with every account (and person not logged in).
How It Works
- Width: The width of the smiley when shown.
- Height: The height of the smiley when shown.
- Smileys base URL: In the ICON URL section, have it start with the text in this line. For example, if all your smilies start with "http://" (which they usually should), then you can put that there, and take it off of your smilies. If you only want to replace some smileys the "/smileys/" must be moved from base to the front of each default smiley.
- Code: Mibbit searches for the code of each line of text for this, and replaces it with the picture hosted on the Icon URL.
- Icon URL: A URL to an image that will replace the text found in Code.

Using your own smileys
To load your own smiley-set replace Base URL: /smileys/rainbow/
with http://the.server.blah/path/to/smiley-folder/
in prefs -> smileys.
If you want to mix smileys from different sources put only http://
into Base URL and the full server/path/filename.ext into the fields of the URL column of the table, e.g.,
:) mibbit.com/smileys/rainbow/smile.gif :( my.server.com/my-smileys/sad.gif
etc.
Warning
Make sure that the code for smilies that might include another one (such as :(( contains :( in it) are above the ones that are included. If you have :( above :(( in the list, It'll parse it as the :( smiley followed by a "(". On most systems path/filenames are case sensitive.
