using gaim emocticons on Pidgin (Ubuntu)

Since Gaim changes it name to Pidgin, the good old emocticons are missing. Some people might think the new emocticons are better, but I think they're lacking of animation. So I've tried to copy the gaim's one to Pidgin. And guess what , it works.



On ubuntu gutsy 7.10 , pidgin emocticons are placed in /usr/share/pixmaps/pidgin/emotes/. I've copied the gaim's default emocticons folder to that directory, from Windows installation to Linux instalation. Don't overwrite it, but rename the gaim one (eg: gaim)



And if you fell annoyed with the multiple 'Default' title, edit the 'theme' file placed on the directory.

On the first line you should easily found the theme's name. Change it to anything you liked.
