Ozh' CSS Smilies

This tool provides a method to replace traditional image-based emoticons with CSS-generated graphics for content management systems. It is designed for developers and site owners who want to modernize their site's visual elements and improve performance.

Pure CSS graphics: Emoticons are rendered entirely with CSS, removing the need for separate image files. This cuts down on HTTP requests and server load. Retina-ready output: The vector-based approach ensures graphics appear sharp on any screen resolution, including high-density displays. Customizable styling: The CSS is structured to allow easy modification, so you can adjust colors, sizes, and animations to match your site's design. Lightweight plugin: The provided starter plugin integrates the conversion system, serving as a foundation for further customization without heavy dependencies. Performance improvement: By eliminating multiple image downloads, this method can contribute to faster page rendering and a better user experience.
