I was chatting with derangedboar earlier today, and he thought a tool might be useful for transforming text into emoticons for Steam chat and profiles.

http://www.steamgifts.com/tools/emoticon-generator

The tool is fairly straightforward. Enter the text you'd like to use, and input both a background emoticon and text emoticon. In return you'll see a text block that you can simply copy and paste into Steam. Enjoy!

If you really want your money's worth with this thing, you can do font styles with a little bit of cheating. Let's assume you're using ":tradingcard:" as the background and ":spycon:" as the text. For bold text, make the background ":tradingcard::tradingcard:" and the text ":spycon::spycon:". For outline text, make the background ":tradingcard::tradingcard:" and the text ":tradingcard::spycon:".

To make banners you can use on the forums, set the background to "X" and the text to "L".

BUG

When you use :B1: as background, the generated code has :B: and emoticon wont show.

Works fine when you use :B1: as Text Emoticon.
