Larger smilies
Gnus comes with some smilies. I'd like them a little larger and more "rounded". So I made some.
A few years later... Google has some very basic (yet animated) smilies in their new Chat-application. When I re-suggested including the larger smilies in Gnus, someone commented that yellow smilies are AOLish and that he'd prefer Googlish smilies. I tried to make some like that too. The result is so-so.

Usage
Unpack somewhere, and tell (X)Emacs to use the new smilies first, perhaps like this:
(load-library "smiley") (setq smiley-data-directory (expand-file-name "~/whereyouputthem/larger-smilies-0.02/"))
And enjoy.
To use all of the smilies, you may have to customize the variable smiley-regexp-alist. Maybe something like this:
(setq smiley-regexp-alist
'(("\\(\\^\\|[^>]\\)\\(:-?)\\)\\W" 2 "smile")
("\\(;-?)\\)\\W" 1 "blink")
("\\(:-]\\)\\W" 1 "forced")
("\\(8-)\\)\\W" 1 "braindamaged")
("\\(:-|\\)\\W" 1 "indifferent")
("\\(:-[/\\]\\)\\W" 1 "wry")
("\\(:-(\\)\\W" 1 "sad")
("\\(:-{\\)\\W" 1 "frown")
("\\(>:-)\\)\\W" 1 "evil")
("\\(;-(\\)\\W" 1 "cry")
("\\(X-)\\)\\W" 1 "dead")
("\\(:-D\\)\\W" 1 "grin")))
