Let's say I want to customize the theme for specific protocols.

https://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/SmileyThemes says that I can use 
protocol-specific smileys by putting them in a separate section like this:
[<protocol>]
<picture to use>  <text to replace>
.
.
.

However, I have no idea what protocol names to use, especially with protocols 
implemented by plug-ins.

Please advise.

Thank you,
Alex.

Hi Alex,

Unfortunately the version of GTK we use on Windows versions of Pidgin
isn't new enough to support emoji characters.  As a workaround you
can use one of the unicode emoji emote themes, eg
https://github.com/stv0g/unicode-emoji or
https://github.com/VxJasonxV/emoji-for-pidgin

Cheers, Eion

Hello,

I have a problem displaying smileys sent from Hangouts contacts,
anything except the basic :) -- which is shown as  displays as
"tofu".  I tried overriding the font used with Google's Noto but it
didn't help.

I am currently using the "Default-with-Skype" Smiley theme by Hylke
Bons.  The problem with switching to a Hangouts-specific theme is
that I actually use Pidgin as a multi-protocol client, with buddies
on Jabber, SkypeWeb, Hangouts, AIM, Facebook, Steam and Flist (I got
rid of Yahoo due to the high crappiness quotient of the protocol) and
would like a theme that will support all of them (and possibly
others).

However, even without using a theme, the smilies should display as
the corresponding unicode characters. What am I missing?

PS, running on Windows.

Thanks, Alex.
