Version: (using KDE KDE 3.4.0) Installed from: Compiled From Sources Icons and smileys are not verticaly aligned. It result to a non-beautiful look. Please use the equivalent of CSS "vertical-align: middle;" for KMail. It includes smileys, but also files (attachements) icons: in Konqueror icons-title is vertically centered. That should be consistent in KMail. Also, when simleys are activated the make the text flowing strangly, visually breaking the paragraph into TWO paragraphs: before and after the smiley. eg. this is a text: A paragraph without smiley Lorem Impsum Latin is good good is Latin :) Lorem Impsum And a second paragraph. A paragraph WITH smiley Lorem Impsum Latin is good o_\ good is Latin o / Lorem Impsum This line seems to be ANOTHER paragraph because it'ss too spaced Smileys should NOT modify the vertical space of a line (line-height?).
The smileys are a very nice feature of the new Kmail version. Unfortunately, I don't like very much those used and that's right, the alignement is not perfect. One nice feature would be to add the possibility to choose a set of smileys such as in Kopete configuration menu. And why not, share the smileys and the code with Kopete.
Fixed long time ago (now we can select a theme of emoticon in kde)
