    Add Smilies/ Emoticons in Google Talk

    Fri, Jul 23, 2010

    0 Comments

    Sometimes it gets really boring to chat in gtalk without smilies ,smilies are so important part of a conversion , unfortunately gtalk default theme does not support smilies .

    Thanks to Anthony who has stated a wonderful idea on his web_site which allows one to add smilies in GTalk.
    As the new version of GTalk includes support for themes we can add a theme with custom smilies in order to get rid of those text smilies. In short, it’s nothing but just adding a custom theme.
    Here’s how it’s done:
    1. Download any one of the below smiley theme which you like.

    Download Classic Emoticons theme

    2. Now extract the zip to a specific folder.
    3. Go to the following location:

    For xp
    C:/Documents and Settings/(your user name)/Local Settings/Application Data/Google/Google Talk/themes/user/chat

    For Windows7
    C:\Users\(your user name)\AppData\Local\Google\Google Talk\themes\system\chat

    4. Now drag the folder which you had extracted previously into the following location.

    For xp
    C:/Documents and Settings/(your user name)/Local Settings/Application Data/Google/Google Talk/themes/user/chat

    For Windows7
    C:\Users\(your user name)\AppData\Local\Google\Google Talk\themes\system\chat

    5. Start Google Talk and go to Settings> Appearance and choose the chat theme which you had extracted. Now click “ok”

    6. That’s it you’ll now have smilies in your GTalk. To test you can chat with you friend and try out.
    Below are the emoticons supported by GTalk… So if you use these you’ll get the emoticons in the chat window


    Download Text

    Note that only you will be able to see the emoticons as you have installed the theme. Your friend will see the emoticons in the form of above signs. So, if your friend too wants to see the emoticons, he will also need to install the theme.
