Smiley Utility

Smiley Utility is a lightweight application which contains a wide range of smiley faces that you can use within Yahoo! Messenger.

Most of these animations are not displayed in Yahoo! Messenger. The app can be easily handled, even nu inexperienced users.

Upon program initialization, Smiley Utility places an icon in the system tray area and brings up a configuration window where you can enable the option to copy a selected smiley face to the clipboard.

By default, the smiley face should automatically appear in the messenger window when you click it, as long as the window of the chat service is on top. You can minimize Smiley Utility's window to the system tray area (restore it by right-clicking the app's icon).

The straightforward software program runs on a very low amount of CPU and system memory, so it should not put a strain on any computer. It is very responsive to commands and did not cause us any problems during our evaluation, such as freezing, crashing or popping up error dialogs.

On the downside, Smiley Utility has not been updated for a very long time and is not compatible with the latest versions of Yahoo! Messenger. Other than that, fans of the well-known instant messaging service should be pleased with this tool.
