opentype Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 No Emoji's please, I hate those stupid things and I'll have to manually remove it as my community probably wouldn't take to kindly to them. I wouldn't be against IPS making their own font based emote pack.What’s the difference between the current IPS emoticons and emoji? Both are just images meant to express feelings and ideas within a written text. I have a feeling you don't know what retina is, it's a Apple buzz word to make people think they are cooler than they really are (and it's going out of date anyway).Yeah, right. Just like some people think they are cool because they bash Apple or users of Apple products.When companies pioneer certain products or ideas, it’s common that those brand names become the accepted term for the product or idea itself. It’s just how language works. We use “Retina” here because it is understood without explaining it all the time. In this use it’s irrelevant if it was coined as “buzz word” or not. Secondly you don't make user uploaded images "retina ready". It's similar to asking "are user uploaded videos HD ready?". Which as you've probably figured, sounds ridiculous.No, it’s not ridiculous. It’s up to the software how to deal with image uploads. When the software doesn’t deliver larger images or alternative images which can be used on higher-resolution screens then it wouldn’t be “Retina-ready“.

Kirill N Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 What’s the difference between the current IPS emoticons and emoji? Both are just images meant to express feelings and ideas within a written text. Emojis are universal. People use them in texts, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook etc. You can type them from your keyboard on mobile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opentype Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Emojis are universal. People use them in texts, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook etc. You can type them from your keyboard on mobile.My question was more or less a rhetorical one. ;-)The topic was, that existing Emoji sets could be the foundation for a new emoticon set in the IPS suite. Whether you call them smileys, emoticons, emoji or whatever—it is just a set of graphics. There is no real difference if a “smiling face” comes from a set labeled “emoticons” or “emoji” and that’s why I asked Cyrem why he seems so strictly against the latter.

When the software doesn’t deliver larger images or alternative images which can be used on higher-resolution screens then it wouldn’t be “Retina-ready“. I starting writing a reply to this but quite frankly I don't want to argue over this, I've had more than enough "retina" discussions with real world consumers in my previous job and how it confuses consumers. While I have sales experience and regularly had to explain and demo Apple products, you are not an uninformed person and this will just end up being an argument over buzzwords and there is nothing to be achieved here.As for emoji, even the general social media junky does not use anywhere near the 870+ different emoji's included in twitter's pack, it's quite frankly, unnecessary. A light pack of frequently used emotes is more reasonable. I don't like the design of most emoji packs, this is why I suggested IPS make their own similar to their classic emote set. Just like some people think they are cool because they bash Apple or users of Apple products.I guess you assumed from my comment that I'm anti-Apple. While I don't like some of their business practices, I do own a Mac, iPad and iPod. So if that is the case, you've assumed incorrectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For my 4.0 site I took 20 graphics from the Twitter “emoji” set, mostly the ones that look like “smileys”, and use them as my editor “emoticons”. As you can see, in this example, those terms don’t really mean anything. On the other hand: I am not against recreating the classic IPS emoji in a higher resolution (or better yet: vector images) either. Being a graphic designer myself, I can say, that isn’t really that much work and therefore also not too expensive for IPS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heyhoe Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Slightly off subject, but this is something that really bugs me when viewing on a mobile device.There should be the option to upload a much higher resolution image for display on mobiles when the skin reaches tablet/mobile territory.Or a way of uploading a much higher resolution logo and scaling it for standard displays.I know there is a way to control the physical dimensions through css as I have done it in the past so scaling a large image to appear normal on lower density displays should not be a problem. I used an SVG graphic as a logo on my last site. But, that means making a vector image of my logo which should not really be a step required to have a nice crisp logo on mobiles.Pretty please can you implement something to allow this!

Hi-res displays are not limited to mobile devices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heyhoe Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Ok, disregard the mobile aspect.And instead, just take it that the ability to have a high resolution logo (for high density displays) would be very welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heyhoe Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I have added it as an SVG now. Just looks much nicer on HIGH DENSITY displays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heyhoe Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Is there any way of stating a display size for the logo once the responsive theme starts to kick in? Currently it just knocks it down which looks terrible.I would want it to display smaller and possibly have it appear at the top, with the nav arrow/breadcrumb underneath.

kysil Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Oh, if one could add smiles in such a format as SVG ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heyhoe Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I don't see why you would not be able to add smileys in SVG..All I did for the logo was add the svg location to the <img> tag and state some dimensions.. It's maybe not the correct way to do it and has some drawbacks on some browsers but its simple and works for me.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
