Smilies

yep, too much teeth.

And how do I fix that on the grin?

I can't reply if I am asleep. :O

Most of them are pretty good, although the laughing one and the one seem a bit threatening to me.

Put some pants on, then.

[Buster's Uncle]

This one didn't need teeth, anyway. 

I do think that's a smart-looking set there at the top of the reply form...  The leaderheads somehow look better reorganized.

[Buster's Uncle]

I believe that should de-emphasize the teeth sufficiently.

I didn't think I could improve on this old standard, and it's perfect for when you enjoy a thread/post/project and want to encourage another poster, but don't have much to say.

Grin4 is good!

And yes Popcorn is fun hehe

What do I think?  I think I've finally licked the shading to my satisfaction.  I think they look crisp, and good in a lineup.  I think there's a real value to a forum to have it's own unique smilies, at least within the circle of sites that're into the same sorta thing, and often share the same audience.

The ones I'm replacing are better than they look above the reply box - most are animated, which for some reason, doesn't show over reply.  They look better when they're displaying the way they were designed to.  But I wonder if I shouldn't replace at least the ones up there with my own versions for the sake of conformity of size and style.

One thing I don't want is a million of them; it makes it a pain to search out the one you want.  And in that spirit, we want to avoid redundancy.  Otherwise, I'd just add my own and leave the old ones; but you can get buried in smilies real quick that way...

[Buster's Uncle]

However, I had to add this one.     It was an insane amount of work to animate that, but I want this to be a fun forum.

[Buster's Uncle]

So,    or ?  Hit Reply and consider how they'd look in the lineup...

I should point out that we have multiple smilie sets - you can select which from your profile: Modify Profile>Look and Layout>Current Smiley Set.  I'd actually been set to a lame set all this time while I thought I was seeing the default, which explains some discrepancies I'd noticed. 

The sets are messed up right now, because I didn't realize I was overwriting all of them, not just the default set, when I edited in my replacements.  This will be set to right eventually.

Okay, this one was easy, because I'd worked on cleaning up a slopily-animated version of Rollseyes the right size before, and it was a simple matter to recolor two frames and change the background frame for consistancy with the other new AC2 smilies.

The best part about no one speaking up is that I get to suit myself...

[Buster's Uncle]

Here's some old standards of mine, and a second draft of Huh?, I've troubled myself to rework into the current style and I'm considering adding:

How did I miss Leia?

You okay, BU? Or after all those smilies, are you going to have a dream you are trapped in SNES Faceball 2000 tonight ?
