DPs in Sign-in windows by Moh on 02-23-2009 at 12:08 AM
When I run Windows Live Messenger "latest build" it doesnt show a picture, not even the place for the picture. If I click Sign in, it shows me the picture while signing in. Also, if I click sign-in and then stop it, the picture shows. Have a look at the screenshot, it explains it all. Any idea about what's going on?
Windows XP Service Pack 2 (5.1.2600)
Windows Live Messenger 14.0.0206
Messenger Plus! Live 4.80.0.356

That happens because there is no space for it to appear, icrease the window height or the resolution of your screen.

How can I increase the window height? Also, it was normal but became like that suddenly.

Click & drag the top or the bottom side of the window.

Oh, I thought he meant something else, already tried that and it is still the same.

What resolution are you running at?
It looks very low
RE: DPs in Sign-in windows by Moh on 02-23-2009 at 10:27 PM
800 by 600 pixels, it did get fixed when I changed the resolution, but I still prefer the old resolution as everything is small now. What bothers me is that it used to show the DPs and suddenly without changing anything it stopped showing them.

what size screen are you using?
you should really be on at least 1024x786 as most things are designed for that or higher

You get used to it, but if you use a 15" or lower screen then yes, things look very small.
RE: DPs in Sign-in windows by Moh on 02-23-2009 at 11:22 PM
Ok, I guess I'll have to deal with it without the DPs then, it's not that hard to deal with. Thank you alot guys, appreciated. Thread can be closed now.

2)Using a skin will prevent me from hiding all the ads.

I said what size screen, not what resolution, you'd already answered that
If it's anything 15" or over then there's no excuse really
I have my netbook on 1024x786 and that's a 8.9" screen.

1) Create one?
2) Using a skin is what enables you to hide all the ads, it takes literally a couple of minutes (i made myself a skin last night to 'minimalise' messenger (remove ads, links, unnecessary things, etc) while i work on my proper skin)

You have never changed resolution to that

No, you don't
WHY? It's 768, not 786
