Reaction Names/Icons Ideas - What do you guys use?

r0obert

I really like the "Insightful" (eye icon) - "Awesome" (heart icon) - "LOL" (smile/laugh icon) combo that this forum uses.

Any other ideas? What are you guys using for your own forums?

Thanks!

My community forum uses a 'MEH' reaction with a smiley and a 'WTF' reaction with a smiley.

@hgtonight I really like the "MEH" - I'm currently using a "GTFO" (with a Thumbs Down) but would like to change that lol.

On a side note - can I simply replace the action-sprites.png, action-sprites-bordered.png and action-sprites-white.png in the application with my own .pngs in order to replace current reactions icon set? If so, would it work if it only has like 4 reactions (ones that I will use), or I need to create all those other ones to pick from?

Thanks!

You can modify the spritesheets in your favorite raster image editor (I like GIMP) or modify the original SVG I included in the design folder with your favorite vector image editor (I like Inkscape) or scrap the entire spritesheet CSS and write your own.

I would think the vector route would be the easiest, but that is just me .

@hgtonight‌ I think I'm gonna take the Inkscape route and try to edit your original SVG file, although I'm not familiar with the software.

So basically, all I have to do is edit the sprites.svg file and overwrite the existing one? That's all?

Yup. You want a more difficult solution?
