Well, the topic pretty much says it all.

I like the changes, great job!

EXCEPT for the new smilies.

I just don't like the anti-aliasing and stuff.

I know, I know. I'm wayyyy too picky.

Just giving my feedback.

looks demented.

paul · March 19, 2003 10:10PM

Weird:

ibrowse · March 19, 2003 10:56PM

Personally, I think they look tastier.

eman · March 20, 2003 7:58PM

I agree that these new smilies are a bit..pastel....but they get the job done.

8) is nice though

They are all about the same color as the ones they replaced, some even more saturated.

And as for the antialiasing, you people must have loved Windows 98's great sharpness!

Get a better monitor.

I am on a damn expensive SUN monitor, so that's not the problem.

The problem is taste, I suppose.

The new ones just look more childish somehow.

ast3r3x · March 21, 2003 2:10PM

they are more cartoonish

--- that isn't needed

----almost looks gay

the rest look fine

spart · March 21, 2003 2:59PM

Jonathan specifically requested a Devil/Demon emoticon (it wasn't my idea), so I don't think that will be taken out.

As for the

and

, yes, I too think they look a bit off. The grin is too big, perhaps? I'll have to mess with them a bit.

Another issue with the antialiasing: Since everything on AI now is antialiased, (if you're using a good browser) the older, pixelated icons looked *really* out of place.

The smileys look amazing in OS X.

Spart, try making the closed eye on the winky guy

a lot flatter.

paul · March 21, 2003 4:06PM

i just think the eyes are too close together

I MISS THE OLD :eek:! That was my favorite smiley, and now he's gone... please bring him back!

doesn't cut it.

pscates · March 22, 2003 5:58PM

The new smileys are pretty and smooth and shaded. In technical terms, they're flat-out bitchin'.

So stop yours.

Ooga-booga!

What is it that's so different? I tried to duplicate it as exactly as possible...even down to the timing in the gif animation.

Actually, it's grown on me... good job Spart. It was just weird with the change... lol, such a serious subject matter

The "wide grin" doesn't look as comically bizarre as the old one did

. The

and

look like they have lashes that are, dare I say, valleygirl, and the

has this strange upper lip. I LOVE the

!
