Gaining on it.   

Well, a pure css solution does work in MSIE 10 and up. Haven't got the smiley img to overhang the top of the background block - yet.

My suspicion is that admins who already have this mod loaded or who want it aren't overly worried about load time.

This is the first one I got finished for testing. (The one with the word has 4 images - 3 as backgrounds in spans - but I'm wondering if a purely CSS solution for the background might work - in everything except MSIE.  )

For the static display there would be 3 images for the css with the inserted text coming from Mood.lng. (And the images are small - something like 8KB combined.) Currently for the 'change mood' with the image change (which works like the message icon drop-down in Post) it calls for the associated image, but I don't think it's pre-loaded.

Going with just Mood Smileys, each image will be about 4KB and the associated word can show up in a title just like the current Smileys. (And since I'm still mulling over which way to go, I don't have samples.)

This is one of those mods where the people who like it really like it and everybody else seems to go 'Huh?'.

I'm working on it.

BUT it would be nice to turn the Language specific buttons into css styled ones. There are two ways to do this. (Or maybe three.  )

1. Have just the Smiley section show with the description in a title. The advantage for this is there would only be 200 or so images to worry about and the javascript for the user choice in Profile will work.
2. Have a fully css button with the word showing (Just like the css buttons). The upside is it looks nice. Downside -I haven't figured out how to get the javascript to pull up the properly rendered image.  (This will use 600 tiny images)
3. OR Have just the smiley show when choosing the mood and have the full css button show elsewhere.  (This will use 800 tiny images)
