Emoticons Options¶

For colored emoji support, check this plugin.

Tip. Options -> Messages -> Pixel spacing makes lines bigger, emoticons will also resize to be bigger.

Use Emoticons¶

Enabling emoticons only works on new messages after emoticons is enabled.

All icons will be resized/scaled to fit inside the text line height, aspect ratio will be preserved.

Use animated gifs¶

Enable or disable animated gifs support.

When the support is disabled, all gifs will stop animating and show the first frame as a static image.

Case insensitive¶

If enabled, text and TEXT will both be replaced with the same icon, otherwise they could have different icons.

Only replace whole words¶

If enabled, emoticons inside links and words will not be replaced.

Stretch height to match line height¶

If enabled, emoticons will be stretched to match the real line height when Pixel Spacing is used.

Use regex to match a pattern¶

<emote> in the regex will be replaced with the pattern (trigger|trigger|trigger).
