You can add that "banner" using scenes

It is possible...
if anyone answears first, just wait till when my Vista-PC gets fixed =P Maybe tomorrow or so... (everything from skins is backed up there =X) But as start, you could look for the scenes image ID...

Try re-sizing the dimensions of the image and then adding it as a scene

I tried just not entirely sure what size to use...
RE: Request for top banner Skin IMADETHEPIK by djdannyp on 03-03-2009 at 11:22 PM

Just keep making it smaller until it fits...i can't remember the dimensions for a maximised one off the top of my head.

640x320 were the dimensions in the beta version, but from memory the final build also has some that are 640x220.

So yeah that is the reason why your image is being cropped. Its just far too big.

I wouldn't recommend making a skin just to replace the default scene with yours, since you will be the only one that will see it. All your contacts will see will be the default Messenger scene.

I might be setting it wrong...

RE: Request for top banner Skin IMADETHEPIK by insider on 03-04-2009 at 04:51 AM

that id is not common, like the other
id that focuses on the center of the image.   
that is what you see. the center of the image.
uses this image and will see what I say

(might i ask what program you used? )
RE: Request for top banner Skin IMADETHEPIK by insider on 03-04-2009 at 05:26 AM

I am glad to help.
I used the Adobe fireworks CS3.   
but only taking into account the distortion of the image.
you use any program

RE: Request for top banner Skin IMADETHEPIK by polskamat on 03-04-2009 at 11:25 PM

Alright Thankyou very much ! I have that program ! :)
