SimpleSmileyReplace is a plugin that checks for the existence of a images/smilies/ folder in a theme. If that folder exists, WordPress uses the smiley files in that folder instead. The plugin assumes that the smilies have the usual filenames (icon_rolleyes.gif, etc).
It has no extra requirements and has been tested with modified versions of the twentyten through twentyfourteen themes.
Development on this plugin has halted. Other developers should feel free to use the Apache-licensed code for their own projects.
