Hello Team!
During the last community meeting, we briefly discussed bring color
emoji to Xubuntu [1]. We're revisiting this now since Xfce 4.14 is just
around the corner, bringing with it GTK+3 and native emoji support. In
any native input or text area, you can now right click, select "Insert
Emoji", and display an emoji picker [2]. Emoji are even supported in the
terminal! Firefox and Thunderbird include their own native color emoji
support. If emoji are going to be everywhere, I think users benefit from
Xubuntu providing full support for them.
I've included screenshots to help with this vote [2]. The first
screenshot shows the emoji picker as it is now, with non-color emoji
populated. The second shows the same picker, but after color emoji
support is enabled. The third screenshot shows the native emoji support
in Xfce Terminal.
Please vote +1 if you are in favor of adding support for color emoji in
Xubuntu.
To participate in this vote, you must be part of Xubuntu Team [3].
Please reply to this list with +1 to approve, -1 to reject, or 0 to abstain.
