Yesterday while I still had Pidgin 2.3.1, I downloaded a smiley theme from http://customize.org/gaimsmile/skins/54179 as I wanted to have the default protocol emotes. I was able to install it by dragging the decompressed folder into the Emotes folder in c:\program files\pidgin\pixmaps\emotes. It showed up in the list of smiley themes and I selected it in my preferences.
After I installed the new version, I did the same thing, but it doesn't show up in the list. Using the Add button doesn't work either. I also tried dragging the ZIP file to the smiley list in Preferences, but this doesn't install it either.
Why won't the theme install in Pidgin 2.4.0?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:

Never mind. I figured it out.
