SkypeMania

SkypeMania is a small software application whose purpose is to help you create drawings out of emoticons and use them via Skype. It provides a simple and fun way to create new emoticons which can be used in your conversations.

This is a portable program. You can keep it stored on USB flash drives or other portable devices and carry it with you all the time. Gaining access to the tool’s features requires only opening the executable file because there’s no installation included in the process.

What’s more, you can open it without administrative privileges on the target computer and uninstall it using a quick deletion task because it does not leave entries in the Windows registry.

You are welcomed by a clean layout that lets you set up the dedicated parameters with ease. A help manual is not included in the package so you need to experiment a little bit with its features in order to understand how it works.

SkypeMania gives you the possibility to choose between two different emoticon creation modes, namely drawing picture and text insertions.

When it comes to creating new pictures with emoticons, you are allowed to choose between several preset size values for the emoticon drawing or specify a user-defined value. You can select a preset emoticon for being displayed in the final drawing.

What’s more, you can assign two emoticons to the left and right mouse button so you can easily insert them in the drawing.

The text transformation tool can be used for writing a user-defined text message using several emoticons. Of course, in order to send the messages to your Skype users, you need to start the program and allows access to your Skype account.

Tests have shown that SkypeMania carries out a task quickly and without errors. It does not eat up a lot of CPU and memory resources so the overall performance of your computer is not affected. However, the output paintings are basic and plain, and present no real interesting effects.

All things considered, SkypeMania comes packed with a basic set of tools for helping you create paintings with emoticons for Skype. It needs more drawing utilities in order to deliver excellent output results.
