The most frequently used ones will be available in the recent emoticons tab.


You can also add your own custom emoticons, even animated ones and can capture any emoticon you like from the chat.  Just clicking over it and selecting "Save emoticon"



To Add a new emoticon: (if you have permissions to do so)

  • Copy the emoticon's URL from a website,  most animated gifs work too.
  • Press the emoticons button in the chat entry line
  • Press the + button at the bottom right
  • Give it a name (optional) and press Add Emoticon


To enter emoticons you can press the emoticons button or can also type the emoticon name in the chat surrounded by colons, for example:


To see an emoticon's name, hover over it in the emoticon's window. if you prefer to give them other names, you can select them with the right mouse button and select "Rename" in the menu.


Animated icons

Animating these icons take a lot of CPU resources, specially if there are many of them used at the same time in the screen.  Therefore, the program will stop animating them after a few seconds.   If you want to see the animation again, simply hover your cursor over the emoticon.   This feature is optional and can be configured in Options->Advanced->User Interface: "Stop GIF animations"
