3.2. Smilies and sounds customization

Smilies

Changing the default client icon set is simply a matter of editing a gif file with your favorite image editor. You can use the iconset.gif from the client /images directory as a template. You can add/edit/remove as many icons as you like, keeping this file at a size of 20xWW, where WW = number_of_icons * 20. Remeber to set a transparency mask if you plan to change the default white background of the chat client. The gif file should look like this.



Put your customized gif back in the /images directory, update the iconSet applet parameter, and reload the chat client.

Sounds

If you like to change the default client sounds, you'll have to overwrite the .au in the client /sounds directory. The files are in Sun audio format.

Tip: Keep these files small to save bandwidth and load time.
