This plugin lets you select a list of pictures and then you just type /xdpc to change your display picture to the next picture in the list.

The other commands are /xdpcsettings to set the list and /dpcabout.

Let me knoe if you have any problems, ideas or questions.

ps it only works in MSN 6.1

edit: i have now added the feature you want /xdpc c:\cheese.gif will now work.

edit: i have now fixed an bug where the settings window wouldnt show

edit: i have now fixed some problems with the registry entries

edit: i have now added the Random picture command!

Well why can't the parameter be a filename... It would make a much better plugin

like

/xdp C:\whatevete\folder\pic.gif

?

ok i'll add that now.  any other ideas?

Is there anything for changing them randomly? or cycling through them?

Id love it if you could set it to cycle through all the pics in a set folder and change it every hour or so, either in order (say alphabetically) or just randomly.  The time change would be flexible so you could have it changing every 30 seconds or every 24 hours

any chance?

i could make a command which randomly picks a picture from the list and set that as your picture. 

I did have the plugin change the picture every say 10 minutes, but it didnt work very well as a plugin, it just froze msn.  But ive got a standalone program which does exactly that.  Changes the DP to the next picture in the list every 10 minutes or whatever you set.

If you want this then let me know.

But i'll add the extra command to the plugin so it can randomly pick a picture.

ooh if you could send us the standalone it would be awesome (can I change the time thing from 10 mins to somethign else?)

Extra command in the plugin is a good tradeoff as well

I've attached 1 I've had for quite a long time...never bothered using it though...got it from mess.be I think...

ok.  i'll upload the standalone when i get home, cos im a t college at the moment.

And i'll add the extra command to the plugin and upload that.

And yes you can change the time to anything you want.

im using windows xp and it works for me, but i thnik it may be cos i resinstalled windows messenger the other day and it works since then, i got errors before that.  So try doing that.

Windows Messenger 5?

With Windows Messenger 5 I get an Runtime error 13

Without Windows Messenger 5 I get a Runtime Error 430 - "Class does not support Automation or does not support expected interface"

any ideas where I can get 4.7 back from?

try Old Version

after a google search I found it..

and with 4.7 I get another lovely Runtime Error 13

I dont think its windows messenger..

maybe its just bad programming by me then 

but i dunno why it works fine for me.
