Re: [bme-develop] icon loading

[Sir M. <obe...@ho...>]

Hi,

I think I'm going to rewrite the code a bit today so we only need tabs and 
spaces in the text file...maybe also write a BHandler to handle the 
icons...IconManager or something...My idea is this: the handler will be 
owned by the main application object and the windows will send messages to 
that app to request for:
-the entire list of emoticon objects
-a message item representing an entire text with emoticons in it
-a bitmap for one part of text(can be used when typing text in a textbox and 
instantly changing that to emoticons)

what do you guys think?

Uhm, the file format is currently like this :D :
/icons/standard/angel.png Angel ; (a) (A)
like you suggested....

We can do it like this....but why? If we do it like this we better use the 
gifs(get some gif animation code from the web)...I think converting gifs to 
a file like this is a lot of work, and we're just working around the 
problem, introducing another file format in stead of the gifs....anyway it 
can be done, but it's a lot of work...
