The free
CheetaChat
client for Yahoo! Chat
has some advantages over using your
browser (you don't even need to open your browser when using cheeta)
including a much larger chat window (screen shot)
and automatic reconnection to
any room you might get disconnected from.
CheetaChat also includes extras like blended multi-color text,
file transfer, macros (ascii art),
emotions, *sounds, voice chat and *avatars.
Avatars are icons that appear next to your name in
chat (see screen shot).
I've started making some and have posted them below.
Instructions for saving and using the avatars are right below them.
*Scroll down for avatars and sounds.

These are all .wav files so any Windows PC can play them offline by
clicking on the file name.
TO SAVE: Right click on the link then click "save link as" (Netscape) or
'save target as" (MS Explorer). In the small window that appears save to
a new folder you can name "Sounds" (or whatever). If you want to use
them in Cheeta - save to the Cheeta sound folder (usually
C:\ProgramFiles\CheetaChat\Sounds). These aren't standard CheetaChat sounds
so only people who have the same sounds can hear them - you can transfer the
file to your friends using Cheeta or send them here.
