Ugly Smilies

reply to post by adjensen


Omg I've never noticed... the white version of ATS is horrid so I never go there...

The Orange is repulsive... green is not much better though

I think "Light Mode" is something that you have to get used to, not "learn to like", lol.

But I think that the orange emoticons are slightly better because there is a bit of a gradient in the middle of them that gives them a little pseudo-relief, while the green ones are pretty much straight fluorescent green.

You don't have to use them. I pretty much only used emoticons to let some one know I was joking, or occasionally mad. I'm boycotting the new ones as well and have been since they came out.

I asked one of the members about two weeks ago were he and his cohorts stood on the new emoticon format, but I think that they have been told to stop or they just gave up.

I can't give ya a star on this forum, but I can give ya a thumbs up.

icons-search.com...

you can download any of these... there are lots and lots on this site! They even have halloween smileys in png format for download...

Cool! Maybe SO will see these, and check them out. Looks like some good ones on there.

I took a look, but there's still a lot missing that we all use.

want me to find the rest? It only took a second to find those...

I'm wondering if these are going to be free for ATS to use as it's own standard set. But even if not, we could upload them to our folder, and use them that way if need be. If you can find a good set, it would be great. We can put the links to them in the emoticon thread, and maybe SO's "SOS thread". *thumbsup*

Just checked out the light mode.
It's so bright!

Smilies are still goofy looking

I will put something together when I get home from work tonight...

The reason the old smileys went was to preserve bandwith ( I'm pretty sure SO said that was the reason)
These smileys are a font I think.

Although they be ugly as hell. Atleast i'm glad the icon with the gun went out.

I'd love to have some feedback from somebody in charge, too

Theses things are HORRID!!!!!!!! lmao!

They all look grumpy or psychotic, they do more harm then good!

I sure hope they change them soon, worst in existence!

I LOVE the rest of the site though! lol

I think you guys really put some thought in your new and clean skin for this forum. It's very nice so thumbs up!

But what is up with those ugly smilies/emoticons..?? They don't even fit the whole design!! If I've missed anything regarding those smilies, I'm sorry, but I hope they're not going to look like this from now on

edit on 22-10-2013 by Hellas because: (no reason given)

I THOROUGHLY AGREE.

However, since I rarely use smilies . . . I decided it wasn't really a great concern of mine.

However, I find the lot of them quite displeasureable.

The happy to neutral ones are tolerable . . . sort of.

I liked the blue simpler ones that everyone else ranted against. LOL.

There must be better options . . . at least the colored portion now seems in sync with the line drawing portion. LOL.
