Forum Emoticons

**Beardog** · May 3rd, 2010

I'll admit it's one of those things that's like dragging fingernails across a chalkboard to me when I see emoticons made against a white background and then used on a dark theme (such as these forums), which results in that godawful halo around them.

I'd like to offer all newly redone emoticons without the halos. Here's what they look like cleaned up.

And the icons for a new post:

These were a Royal PITA to do using ImageShack, but was afraid of breaking any rules uploading elsewhere. But if the admins agree to use these cleaned up graphics, I would strongly suggest letting me zip them all up and emailing them to you. That would keep the exact files names intact so it would be a simple matter to just upload them in their present locations and nothing else would need to be changed for the new ones to display.

With all the great graphic work I've seen around the site so far, I'm surprised noone else has whined about the halos yet.

hmm, I will try to get them up sometime soon. In the mean time enjoy this

Argh, my eyes, MY EYES!!!

If you'd prefer, rather than trying to sort out the file names because of ImageShack's renaming, if you PM me an email, I'd be happy to zip them up and send them to you with names intact, it would literally just take you 2 minutes then to upload and change them all at once.
