Usage

Installation instructions

Extract the zip file in the Miranda home directory. This will create a directory Smileys with the default smiley pack. And the smileyadd.dll will go in the plugins directory. Or you can copy this by hand from the archive. Note: to make the default work, the default smiley pack HAS to be in the Smileys directory.

GDI+ installation required to use non icon smiley packs. GDI+ comes pre-installed on Windows XP, Office XP and later, for everybody else you can get it here.

Smiley packs

Smiley pack (theme) is a set of predefined images with character combination associated with them. SmileyAdd supports .msl, .asl and .xep smiley packs. Smiley pack specification describing syntax of .msl or .asl files could be in smileyadd_msl_specification.txt file provided with SmileyAdd distribution.

Pre-packaged smiley packs could be found here. Any smiley pack from SmileyAdd, IEView or nConvers sections is usable with SmileyAdd.

Note: SmileyAdd provides better validation for malformed regular expressions then nConvers. As a result some smiley packs working under nConvers will give errors under SmileyAdd. Although if these errors are fixed resulting smiley pack will work correctly under both plugins.

Per contact smiley packs

At first you need to create custom smiley category. To do that type the name of the new category into the text input field in Smiley Category part of option dialog and press "+". Now you can select this new Smiley Category for the contact. You need to right click on the contact, select "Assign Smiley Category" and then select from the menu appeared the category you want. To delete custom Smiley Category select it in the list in option dialog and press "−".
