Google Chat Smiley's #25

Closed tupson closed 3 years ago

tupson commented 3 years ago

I have noticed when I use the Google Chat .dll versus the XMPP for my Gmail Account, most of the emoji's vanish, limiting them to 16 smiley's in total.

How can I get all of the emoji's to function that are within the "C:\Program Files (x86)\Pidgin\pixmaps\pidgin\emotes\default" directory?

It would also appear most of all the icons within C:\Program Files (x86)\Pidgin\pixmaps\ aren't referenced.

So a protocol plugin can't influence what shows in the smileys list, its up to the smiley theme to optionally read in the name of the protocol. That's because a protocol plugin works independently of the UI - the same plugin works with Adium, spectrum2, bitlbee and Finch; all of which use a different smiley theme system.

To resolve, you'd either need to edit the theme file in Pidgin\pixmaps\pidgin\emotes\default to reference both "Google Chat" as well as "XMPP", or switch to a different smiley theme (I personally use https://github.com/niclashoyer/pidgin-emojione ) which doesn't have protocol-specific smileys

Did either of those two options work out for you?

Yes, that was a success. Thanks!
