updated apple theme

[ghost]

I've updated the apple theme. Can't find any use for the .ttf so I dropped it.
I'll update if there are any newer versions. Maybe I'll add updates for other emoji packs as well.

HI @alexroot-

How did you updated the icons? In the past, I used the TTF file to extract the icons.

It's a unicode.org scraping tool with pidgin plugin. But pidgin needs scaled images and scaling is bad or takes a lot of time (first I've tried python with bad results, then imagemagic that takes 2h for all emojis).

Okay, could you add the scripts for scaling / scraping to your PR?

I would like to have the whole process repeatable as there are new emojis with every new Unicode version. It is likely that we will need to run those scripts again in a year..

Yeah, I'll fix the problems and implement a dynamic plugin loader. After that I'll add it.
Do you know a complete and up to date list like this: http://www.fileformat.info/info/emoji/list.htm ?
Would be awsome to have some aliases but emojipedia has closed their api for new applications (http://emojipedia.org/emojipedia-api/).
edit: this repo looks promising: https://github.com/muan/emoji/tree/gh-pages/javascripts/emojilib
MIT license and everything I need for aliases 👍

No I am not aware of such a list. Ideally we would use the unicode.org groups directly.
However I expect that there are much more emojis in the unicode emoji group.
Seems like every vender does grouping / selection of the emojis themselves?

The basic idea behind this repo was to map unicode code points to images. And to have multiple sources for those images so that we can automatically rebuild them if required.

As sources, I imagine:

• Truetype Fonts (TTF)
• Scrapers
• Emojipedia
• Unicode.org

Here the TTF option is the most interesting for me as it allows us to generate different emoji themes: black and white, android, apple, Microsoft etc..
