Smilies inconsistent across styles

I notice that the smilies are different for various boards.ie styles. For example, typing..:D looks like this under the Cloud style: , but the smiley looks this for a user using the default skin: The smilies play a huge role in conveying the mood of a post, and to me, there is a big difference between the two smilies above.

The smilies are graphics used to indicate the same meaning that the plain-text smilie is meant to convey.

The graphics are chosen to co-ordinate with the rest of the skin.

Say :D when you mean what is normally conveyed by that.

Or become more eloquent and don't use them at all.
