Smilies are small icons that replace text. This helps the client look cooler. An example of one is :) which is replaced to Yel02.png by default. That specific smiley can be changed.

You can chhoose from three smilie sets in prefs:

Default

These are the smilies that come pre-loaded with every account (and person not logged in).

  • Yel02.png ":)" or ":-)"
  • Yel36.png ":(" or ":-("
  • Yel06.png ":D" or ":-D"
  • Yel07.png ":s" or ":-s"
  • Yel22.png ":/" or ":-/"
  • Yel40.png ":P" or ":-P" or ":p" or ":-p"
  • Yel54.png ":O" or ":-O" or ":o" or ":-o"
  • Yel08.png ";)" or ";-)"

folder: /smileys/

Rainbow

  • Rainbow smile.gif ":)" or ":-)"
  • Rainbow sad.gif ":(" or ":-("
  • Rainbow biggrin.gif ":D" or ":-D"
  • Rainbow rolleyes.gif ":/" or ":-/"
  • Rainbow arf.gif ":P" or ":-P" or ":p" or ":-p"
  • Rainbow eek.gif ":O" or ":-O" or ":o" or ":-o"
  • Rainbow wink.gif ";)" or ";-)"

folder: /smileys/rainbow/

Moderm

  • Modern icon smile.gif ":)" or ":-)"
  • Modern icon sad.gif ":(" or ":-("
  • Modern icon biggrin.gif ":D" or :-D
  • Modern icon confused.gif ":s" or ":-s"
  • Modern winky.gif ":/" or ":-/"
  • Modern icon razz.gif ":P" or ":-P" or ":p" or ":-p"
  • Modern icon surprised.gif ":O" or ":-O" or ":o" or ":-o"
  • Modern icon wink.gif ";)" or ";-)"

folder: /smileys/modern/

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.

see Prefs -> Smileys (main client or widget.mibbit.com/manager/ )

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 "(".
