emoticons

author: John J Foerch

A plugin that gives ChatZilla the ability to use Gaim emoticon themes.

ChatZilla has a set of emoticons that can be customized to some degree with the use of css rules. But some people are just a touch more nuanced about their punctuation: they need more. If you are the sort of person who would {:-D) at being called an emoticon junkie, this plugin is for you. Get themes from gaim.sourceforge.net or create your own.

The technique employed by this plugin is to replace the emoticon marks with an <img> tag. This works but it is not the best way to go about the problem because switching themes is not retroactive. I intend, at some point, to rewrite this plugin to use a technique of dynamic stylesheets.

An official release of this plugin is pending my learning how to create an xpi installer. Please try the version in the cvs repository.
