Okay, I know not everyone likes emoticons in Instant Messaging - but I find them rather handy! Since iChat only has a few smiley's built in, I regularly use images from
this page to place in messages - since iChat has Direct Messages, the images appear nicely inline just like normal emoticons.
Only problem is, they are .gif files, so there is slight 'white shadowing' from the antialiasing around the edges. Looks very bad with dark bubbles!
Since these emoticons don't seem to be 'copyrighted', and if they are, I have seen them in heaps of places - does anyone have a link to some transparent PNGs of these pictures?
