ABOUT

This script will replace your boring text in gmail chat into emoticons! yay!
As of now it consists of just 21 emoticons, listed in the table below.
If you need help with adding more emoticons, just ask! =)
As of v0.4+, you can now define your own custom smileys. Check below for info.
IMPORTANT: Just discovered that the script doesn't work if you don't have the Pictures in Chat gadget enabled.
So please enable that gadget from labs, if it isn't already enabled, else this script won't work.

Adding Custom Smileys

With v0.4, i've added pseudo code which should help the end user in adding custom smileys of his own.
You can now define your own smileys, in the Custom Smileys section in the script.
You can define the smileys in the following format: 
customSmileys = [
    [<REGEX>, <FULL_PATH_TO_SMILEY>],
    [<REGEX>, <FULL_PATH_TO_SMILEY>]
];
EXAMPLE: 
customSmileys = [
    [/lol/,       'http://www.example.com/lol.jpeg'],
    [/:roflmao:/, 'http://www.abc.com/smileys/roflmao.png']
];

Quite easy to understand, but if you still need any assistance, don't hesitate to ask =)
IMPORTANT: Every time you update the script, you will lose any custom defined smileys, so pls make sure you have a copy of the custom defined smileys, so you can just copy them back after updating.
