16x16:
24x24:
I'm working on hotstrings for these. The 24's are the ones I'll be using, being as they look best, but if you prefer there's the 16's too.
Important-looking note: If the bandwidth on my host ever happens to spike and I need to ditch a few things to come to par, these things aren't too far up on the list of things to keep. Don't worry, though; I'm not expecting anything like that for a long time. |

I only made that note so noone would get mad at me if I did have to, at some point, do that. I don't think it'll happen though. Of course, there's also the chance that noone but Rajat will use these. I guess if someone wants to post them to your site, that's fine, but I'm too lazy to do it.  |

| Very funny. FYI, I'm merely deliberating between this, my previous one, the watermelon, and moe. |

These are very nice. Unfortunately they show a little square in IE6.

That's strange. It probably has something to do with the way Titan implemented the transparencies. It's hardly noticable, though. A quick solution is to switch to a real browser.
And yes, I do mean "real." I don't consider a browser to be real if it doesn't comply with the simple and practical standards laid down.

@ Serenity
I have told Jonny about the transpanency problem.
It's due to a quirk in IE.
If you want, I could make them all proper gifs and host them on my server ...? |

The new smileys are suave and cool looking, though their meaning seems less obvious from a glance. That's largely due to the 16x16 size, so of course 24x24 would alleviate this. However, the downside of 24x24 is that they would probably disrupt spacing between lines a little, which would make formatting appear a little off.
The forum could probably use more emoticons, probably just some basic ones. I prefer ones that don't have heavy animation because animated-anything can be quite distracting, especially when used heavily in a post or frequently throughout the forum.
Also, we could have a poll to decide whether the current emoticons should be replaced with something newer, which is a separate proposal than simply adding new ones.
Comments are welcome. |
