personalized display picture of any contact by bungleMX on 10-26-2004 at 06:21 PM
sorry if this has been asked before,..
it is possible to make a plugin to have a personalized display picture of any of my contacts? so no matter if they change their DP I will always have a picture of them.

This hasn't been ever suggested, as far as I know, but I think it's a good suggestion. Those plugins that hook into Messenger like Stuffplug-NG could do that.

It is possible. if you modify the packets sent/received with every contact.
At least I think.

Do you need to modify anything like that? I mean, is it not possible to "just" put an overlay on the existing DP, so you don't need any fancy protocol handling proxy thingie?
Hmmm depends on which approach you'll take I guess.. both have advantages and disadvantages...

good, I don't know nothing about programming, but this could be a good idea for a plugin or even for patchou to make it in plus3

I was thinking more of making Messenger read DP's locally, and having a setting per-contact that lets you decide whether to change it when they change, or to set it yourself and lock it.
At first glance, it looks like it might involve modifying the exe, but I think KeyStorm is right in saying that programs that hook into Messenger could do it, though I'm not entirely sure.
