XF 1.5 Smilies button in the editor pressed indication

[AnneMoss]

When you click one of the formatting buttons (B/I/U etc) they have toggled-on/togggled-off modes that are clearly visible as you're typing along.
The smilies button doesn't have that and it's a problem. As you're typing and want to use smilies, you need to switch them on using the button. However, you have no indication of whether or not you already clicked it. You have to scroll down just to see if the smilies are "open" or not and then scroll back up to click the button.

We've run into a problem with users who probably click it an even number of times, not sure if it's "clicked" because the behavior is different than what they see with other buttons. They know that clicking the bolding button keeps it "pressed in" and "on". They assume the same should be happening with the smilies button. Since that isn't happening, they try to click again. Then they scroll down and the smilies aren't there (because they clicked twice instead of once). We end up with complaints about the smilies not loading.

This isn't a CSS/Styling issue but a behavior issue. Any ideas how to change that?

Add it to editor_ui.css template end

li.Smilie:hover {
    background: #a8ebff;
    border-radius: 4px;
}

Thanks but what I need is for the smilie button in the editor to stay "pressed". I think this is a behavior and not a CSS attribute?
See how the "B" button stays "pressed" when you click on it? I want the same thing to happen with the smilie button.

Smilie can be pressed very much times, when you press on smilie, it is inserting in textarea, i think it is useless function.

The smilies area is either visible or it's not. It would be helpful to have an indication on the button when it's visible (i.e. switched on). Some of our users are pressing the button, not seeing the smilies (because they haven't scrolled down) so they click again in effect closing it. We then get complaints about the smilies not showing.
