Sticker Messages
================
.. _module:stickers:
This module allows users to send sticker messages in to rooms or direct
messaging sessions.
Sticker messages are specialised image messages that are displayed without
controls (e.g. no "download" link, or light-box view on click, as would be
displayed for for `m.image`_ events).
Sticker messages are intended to provide simple "reaction" events in the message
timeline. The matrix client should provide some mechanism to display the sticker
"body" e.g. as a tooltip on hover, or in a modal when the sticker image is
clicked.
Events
------
Sticker events are received as a single ``m.sticker`` event in the
``timeline`` section of a room, in a ``/sync``.
{{m_sticker_event}}
Client behaviour
----------------
Clients supporting this message type should display the image content from the
event URL directly in the timeline.
A thumbnail image should be provided in the ``info`` object. This is
largely intended as a fallback for clients that do not fully support the
``m.sticker`` event type. In most cases it is fine to set the thumbnail URL to the
same URL as the main event content.
It is recommended that sticker image content should be 512x512 pixels in size
or smaller. The dimensions of the image file should be twice the intended
display size specified in the ``info`` object in order to assist
rendering sharp images on higher DPI screens.
