Where Can I Find Emoticons Stored in Sametime 8.5.2 and SameTime 7?
Where on the HDD can I find default Sametime emoticons Stored?.
Verbatim from Sametime support.
File location
The palette data and image files are stored on your local drive; the location of the stored files varies by Sametime client type (Connect or embedded) and version. The relevant subdirectory, which will be a subdirectory of the main program directory, is plugins\com.ibm.collaboration.realtime.palettes. To identify the full path location for emoticons when using a Sametime Connect or Notes embedded client, do the following:
Open a chat window with yourself
Insert an emoticon, and click Send or press enter
Right-click the emoticon, then select "Copy Image Location"
Paste the location into a text editor, like Notepad. You now have the location for your client's palette files.
Sametime 8.5.2 on Win 7:
