Wordpress Tango Smilies

Been playing with Tango icons recently, so had the bright idea of swapping out most of the default Wordpress smilies for luscious Tango emotes:

Much nicer! I just copied the Tango PNGs over the Wordpress GIFs in the bzr repository I use to manage our Wordpress deployments. I really ought to write about that some time…

Update: Check out my awesome Tango Smilies plugin for WordPress and WordPress MU. Rock on with your Tango on!

    Nice, although the wink one seems out of place ;)

    Why didn’t you use face-wink.png?

    I love those icons, but they don’t really scale very well to 16x16.

    molgar, I did. You might want to shift-reload to dodge the cache hit on your end. :-)

    Trevor, they’re not scaled to 16x16. They are 16x16. Yay for Tango icons!

    Christoph, I couldn’t figure out a good one to use with the monkey. I like it too!

    You edit the wp-includes/vars.php and added new ones like :monkey: or so. Also the plugin wp-grins is nice, which display the smilies.

    Nice. I love it when evolution uses these smilies, and now I can hope to see it on blogs too :)

    So, I’ve decided to follow Jeff’s footsteps and replace the smilies here with ones from the Tango Desktop Project. WordPress hardcodes the emoticon paths in vars.php. Since I neither want to change that file each time I upgrade WordPress, nor use Jeff

    Jahr das Tango Thema für Gnome benutze habe ich nun auch Smileys und den Tango Generator entdeckt. Die Smileys habe ich sofort hier in den Blog mit eingebunden. Auf der offiziellen Homepage von dem Tango Project gab es nicht so sehr viele aber im eighty-eight miles per hour Blog habe ich noch ein paar gefunden, dann noch ein paar in einem Icon Theme für einen Instant Messenger und das icon_confused ( [IMG :?] ) habe ich aus einem anderen Icon mit Gimp selbst gemacht. Das icon_rolleyes passt nicht wirklich (
