What does your Messenger look like? by absorbation on 08-31-2008 at 12:49 PM

Hey guys, I've recently started a small project where I want to compile a load of screenshots of your Messenger clients and display them in a gallery on a website. The idea behind it is, Messenger is incredibly customisable and I want you to show your Messenger design to the world.

I've already had a few screenshots sent in, but I know I would get a lot more from these forums, so I hope you can contribute. To submit your screenshots we ask you to show both your main Messenger contact list and a conversation window. Below are a few guidelines to help you know what we are looking for:

  1. A good quality screenshot where possible. Export in a high resolution, preferably a PNG 32, where we can cut down the filesize before uploading it to the website. For those of you who just have paint, use the default Bitmap image. A high quality image isn't necessary, but it is preferred.
  2. Edit out any personal information of you or your contacts, such as email addresses or phone numbers. We can always do this for you, but it would save us some time.
  3. Try and tell us what skin, add-on, patch and Messenger build you are using (if applicable).
  4. That you are willing to have a screenshot of your Messenger posted on the website.

I hope you can help :).

Surprisingly default, except from Plus! icons. No skin, scripts or other addons.

I should start testing on VMs fully :s. After every test on my normal OS i delete everything and end up with a clean Messenger.

MS Paint can save in PNG too.

I know, they just export in really poor quality, whereas Bitmap is good quality, but a ridiculous file size :).

Yes you should! An array of contact lists, no matter what their design is always good to see. Messenger is still the way you want it, you can sort your contacts how you wish, hide tabs and patch things out :P.

There are several types of PNG image: 8, 24, 32, all of which have varying levels of quality within them. Bitmap will always export in great quality, at the expense of a large filesize. Otherwise I suggest PNG32 if you don't use paint :).
