Xat “Mate” Smiley Added – Spanish Users Rejoice!

mate smiley xat

Mate (pronounced Mah-teh), a popular drink amongst South Americans, has finally made its way to Xat in the form of a Smiley (mate) by way of user suggestion.

Those unfamiliar with the beverage can simply imagine a hollowed out gourd filled with a dried herb. Hot water is poured into the gourd and it’s contents are then sipped through a metal straw called a “bombilla”. More than just a drink, mate is often served in gatherings of two or more people (primarily as an excuse to socialize); each taking their turn (yes with the same straw!) as the mate emptied, topped off, and passed around.

Those wanting to try out the new smiley can either head on over to the Xat test chat (AS3 needed) and type (mate) or play around with the Xatworld smiley generator.

Nice to see Xat making everyone happy!

Xat Smiley FULL SIZE Generator – New!

xat smiley generator

Several months ago we had the idea of creating an offsite (that’s “outside” of Xat.com) Smiley generator that would simply allow a user to input a shortcode (i.e. omg, smile, d#red, etc…), hit a submit button, and have the Xat smile instantly generated full size. It seemed like a great way to get full size Xat smiley graphics with the added benefit of being able to customize each one; just like you would on Xat.

Currently, Xat smiley “experimentation” can only take place within the constraints of each chatbox. This very simple generator allows you to quickly type in smiley codes, generate the image, and get a nice clean image on a solid white background; great for creating Xat graphics, Xat comics, Xat backgrounds, or simply trying out different code combinations to later use live in a chatbox.

Anyway, after presenting the idea to Xat staff we were happy to hear that they would possibly be putting a Smiley pimper together themselves. As such, we have decided to keep our version very simple and will eagerly wait for Xat to come up with something better.

In the meantime, have fun with our Xat Smiley generator.

Thank you to Xat.com for the swf :)

P.S. There are a few code combinations that can only be added, updated by Xat directly.
