Let's face it, the current : ) or : - ) smiley icon in qTox looks almost embarrassed with those red cheeks and closed eyes.

Even the ^ _ ^ icon has that 'joyful in frosty weather' type look with all that red.

I'd prefer to see the : ) smiley be made into a "more standard" looking smileyface without the red cheeks. Something like the 😀 icon for example, but with a closed mouth smile.

Thank you.

+1 if you concur. 🍺

I looked into this, and it seems that the emoticon pack we use doesn't provide a "closed mouth smiley", most similar I could get was https://github.com/tux3/qTox/blob/master/smileys/Universe/1f600.svg which I think is better, but also no quite right IMHO.

Any ideas on this?

Switch to Emojione?

I extracted their svg download into a folder, added the emoticons.xml from Universe, and it just werked.

emojione

There's a closed-mouth smiley, and their cat is also much cuter than Twitter's abomination that's currently in use, which is important (cough @zetok)

@ProMcTagonist They indeed seem to look better, I'll look into into them.
