Skype is a program that many people use. It is designed specifically for communication and data exchange. Like any other messenger, Skype is equipped with a wonderful interface and graphic elements. Here you can express emotions in many ways. For example, through smiles. There are many emoticons in Skype, including secret ones. They will be discussed below. What should a user know about this component?
Definition
Let's start by understanding what a smiley face is. Translated from English, smile means "smile", "smile". The emoticons on Skype and other messaging tools help give letters an emotional touch. These are painted faces and small pictures reflecting this or that emotion. Most often they are represented by koloboks with animation.
About types
There are several types of emoticons in Skype:
- standard;
- new ones;
- hidden;
- deleted.
The latter will not work in new versions of software, but in older versions they do occur. New "smiles" appear after updates, they will not work in previous versions of Skype.
Standard faces-emotions can be seen in the program without much difficulty. This is a set of animation that is inserted into messages without unnecessary manipulation and problems. But hidden emoticons in Skype are not easy to find. They are not in the standard list of smiley thumbnails, but their code is still in the application. These koloboks are of interest to many users.
About the standard list
But first, a few words about emoticons available to all users. They can be found while writing a message. In the corresponding window, at the bottom right, the user will see a smiling face. If you click on it, a list with emoticons pops up.
Hovering over a specific image, you can see its animation. If you click on the selected image, it will be inserted into the letter. Where the cursor is currently set.
Also, when considering smiles in Skype, you will be able to see their spelling and the code that the messenger recognizes. The first component is written on the left side of the panel located above the emoticons, the second - on the right. For example, in love (inlove). In this case, the bun is called "love", and the code that sees "Skype" is inlove. This is a smiley in hearts. Everything is simple.
Writing features
Skype’s secret emoticons are hard to find. A simple user can not do without learning some secrets. But for starters, one more fact related to the usual smiley-buns in Skype.
As we have already found out, you can place standard face-emotions through the list of smiles. But this is not the only way. You can use codes (keyboard shortcuts) while typing to implement the task. These are the same combinations that appear on the right side of the list of smiles. Usually they are expressed either with a phrase in round quotation marks, or a combination of characters on the keyboard.
About secret smiles
This is how we manage to use secret emoticons in Skype. They are not displayed anywhere, but they can be used. It is enough to know the code that is recognized by the messenger.
The standard set of hidden emoticons consists of 31 pictures. But today there are many more secret smiles. Let's start by exploring the smiles on Skype, which will work in all versions of the messenger. The following combinations will help to draw a hidden face-emotion (first comes the name of the picture, then the code):
- priest - (mooning);
- oliver - (oliver);
- photographer - (zilmer);
- "I'm really bored" - (tauri);
- emo - (malthe);
- "what's happening?" - (whatsgoingon);
- castle (confidentiality) - (confidential);
- calendar marked / meeting - (letsmeet);
- hourglass - (holdon);
- gift - (gift);
- joystick - (games);
- laptop - (computer);
- blue car - (car);
- plane - (plane);
- camera - (camera);
- "can you talk?" - (canyoutalk);
- rainbow - (rainbow);
- island - (island);
- "skype" - (skype) / (ss);
- pool party - (poolparty).
This is not a complete list of the main hidden emoticons. But, as practice shows, they are used most often.
New
New emoticons in Skype are also not easy to track. Ordinary users do not know about their availability. Therefore, you have to study the data that hackers and programmers provide.
Here are a few smiles that are in versions of Skype 7.6:
- Baku 2017 - (baku2017);
- dad's time - (dadtime);
- unicorn - (unicorn);
- smile-rainbow - (rainbowsmile);
- Christmas tree - (xmastree);
- basketball hoop - (slamdunk);
- bronze medal - (bronzemedal);
- toilet - (ontheloo).
They, as you might guess, are also hidden. Therefore, they will have to be fully recorded in messages manually. Hidden emoticons in Skype help not only to enrich the letters with emotions, but also surprise the interlocutor. After all, as we have said, just to find hidden faces-emotions will not work.
Smilies from smiles
A rather interesting occupation is the compilation of whole pictures from kolobok-emotions. Such letters are quite common in Skype. They allow you to attract attention. In addition, such letters are pleasantly surprising. After all, composing emoticons from emoticons in Skype is not so simple.
Fortunately, users are willing to share their ideas and the resulting drawings. Therefore, even an inexperienced user can find some picture and insert its code in the letter. The result is a large animated picture.
For example, in Skype, emoticons can be arranged as in the figure below.
After sending this letter, the user will see an animated heart filled with suns. And on the sides of it are flowers. There are a lot of similar pictures. And not all of them illustrate love. For example, you can make a red cross emoticon or draw a spider.
Summary
Now it’s clear what the secret emoticons look like on Skype. Finding them can be problematic. Today you can count more than 300 different kolobok-smiles. Each picture has its own secret code, the knowledge of which greatly simplifies the work with the messenger.
Hidden emoticons in Skype are often used separately, and not when composing whole pictures from smiles, emotions. There are no new hidden koloboks in the latest version of the application. Therefore, it will be possible to use only those smiles in Skype that were in the utility earlier.
