| 1 Gaim Smiley Themes Documentation | |

| 5 Version 0.60 of Gaim brings up all themable smileys. In the preferences dialog, a user can choose from a selection of looks his smileys will take. This guide is to serve as a reference to those interested in creating third-party smiley themes. | |
| 6 | |
| 7 Your theme should be contained in a single directory. This directory will be installed in the Gaim smiley theme directory ($HOME/.gaim/smileys/). This directory will contain a file called `theme' that specifies the theme metadata and image files that are used by the theme. The format of the `theme' file is as follows. | |
| 8 | |
| 9 The beginning of the file contains some metainformation about the theme in the format | |
| 10 | |
| 11 Key=Value | |
| 12 | |
| 13 Valid keys include: | |
| 14 Name - Name of the theme | |
| 15 Description - Description of the theme | |
| 16 Icon - An image used to represent the theme in the theme selector UI | |
| 17 Author - The author's name | |
| 18 | |
| 19 Following this meta-information are "sml" groups. A "sml" group is a group of smileys that will be shown together. For example, each protocol has its own "sml" group (MSN, Yahoo, Gadu-Gadu, etc.). The name of the group is surrounded in square brackets, and each line beneath it (until the next sml group or the end of the file) defines a smiley. | |
| 20 Each line of the group starts with a filename of the icon followed by a space-delimited list of the characters that represent it. | |
| 21 | |
| 22 Example: | |
| 23 [AIM/ICQ] | |
| 24 smiley.png :) :-) | |
| 25 | |
| 26 In the smiley selector UI, each icon will only be shown once, and the first string representing it will be used. To keep a smiley out of the selector altogether, make the first two characters of the line "! " followed by the filename and emoticons. | |
| 27 | |
| 28 As of 2.0.0beta2, spaces and backslashes in the "list of characters" (see above) must be escaped by prepending them with a backslash. For example, to define a smiley that is represented by ":-/" and ":-\", use: | |
| 29 | |
| 30 [AIM/ICQ] | |
| 31 think.png :-/ :-\\ | |
