Google Hangout Emojis Complete

Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net

Description:

Collection of 861 emojis directly from Google Hangout.

This set contains all emoticons currently available.

Icons are property of Google Inc.

Attention: For a mysterious reason, selecting the new theme in System Settings causes changes in some emoticons, that don't work. So, to prevent this issue, after installing the theme and before enabling it go in

$HOME/.kde/share/emoticons/Google*

or

$HOME/.kde4/share/emoticons/Google*

(depending on your distro) and change attributes of emoticons.xml removing write permission.

If you miss this step and you notice strange characters on chat log, I have included a backup file of the theme file that you can use to restore defaults and adjust permissions.

How to upgrade: before each upgrade you have to temporary restore write attribute to emoticons.xml then install the new theme and then removing again write permissions.

No matter what I try, there's always over 100 incorrect emoji: http://imgur.com/a/1NTGH

I've tried extracting the archive outside of the emoticons folder, setting the file to be read-only, and then moving it in, but it still ends up having these errors.

Thanks for updating these emoticons for the hangout on Google plus. I use that social media site all the time. =)

Hi! This is great emoticon pack. However, may I suggest to make some changes in xml file, so that it would be somewhat compatible with Facebook standard icons?

Here's the diff: https://gist.github.com/pejakm/9a5fa48f03a87818bf1a

Thanks!

Before releasing I have to ask: why you removed some lines?

Hi.

First, I've updated gist.

Now, I've removed "8-)" and "8)" from "ðŸ˜Ž" ("cool" emoji) because Facebook is using those for "nerdy" smiley, and "nerd" emoji will only be available as of Unicode 8 [1]. Facebook is using "8-|" and "8|" for "cool" smiley. [2] But if this conflicts to other set of emoticons/emojis, I can probably find a workaround.

I also removed ";-)" and ";)" from "ðŸ˜œ" ("stuck-out tongue and winking eye") emoji [3] because I find that these smileys better fit to "ðŸ˜‰" ("winking") emoji. [4]

Ok, I decided to partially accept your changes:
- all new lines are in
- changed ;-) and ;) in ;-P and ;P
- regarding 8) and 8-) , they are quite standard; f.i. are used this way in standard kde emoticons; anyway, I can't find among google emoticons a "nerd smile". So left untouched.

Thanks
