New Themes/Smileys

[xoot]

I post this message here because it couldn't fit in a private message to twyg and I decided to let everyone know too:

to twyg:
Hey, twyg, I just love what you did with the site! It looks very cool.

I'm thinking of including the smileys that come with Fire, plus some others in Macfora.

Here is the list of Fire smileys:

Try to aquafy the Macfora smileys, to preserve the theme and don't forget to preserve the transparency when you convert the Fire smileys into GIFs.

Have fun creating a new theme!

Any suggestions?

I like them, but I don't think they're sharp enough. There's not enough detail.

Ugh, I can't stand the Fire smilies. Way too small, and I don't particularly care about the transparency.

Proteus' massive database of smilies is far better.

 

[xoot]

Hmmm? Where is this database?

And, we could always use the sharpen function in Photoshop. I should have made this a poll

But, everyone has to agree here, because I know what it means to have bad smileys in your message board.

xoot...may I suggest Photoshop?

 

[xoot]

I'm bad at smileys. Really bad.

Anyone good at them here?

When I first heard about Macosx.com wanting aquified smiles, I went into photoshop and made an aquified smile. but when I sized it down it didn't look very good.

I gave it a shot, see attachment:

Okay, someone simply HAS to nab the monkey smilie from macfora.

*yoink*

:monkey:

I think it is going to be too hard to aquafy smileys that are this small. It will just not work.

 

[homer]

What am I missing? Why do they need to be aquafied?

They do not need to be aquafied. I think people just want to follow the whole aqua OS X look.

 

[homer]

Ah, but an unaquafied monkey is better than no monkey at all!

:monkey:

So...nobody liked my cool smiley icon? Awww...I spent some precious time on that puppy thare.

lol

 

[Nummi_G4]

shush. you guys were not here when the forums had an ugly brown color theme. That was BAD.

 

[homer]

Sorry, Trip, I haven't seen your icon.

Nummi, I was around when we had that brown theme. That was an awesome theme. For me to p**p on!

(I love Triumph, the insult comic dog).

homer, look back at one of my previous posts in this thread. It's an attachment.

 

[homer]

Nice work. It's a little hard for me to make out the features, though.

What is it? The Rock?
