Ok,
People have asked "Can I have different Display Pictures for different people?"
Well people go instantly "No." well i thought about it and it would be hard,
Because we have the function to get there emails we can set it too change the DP on contact window open.

E.g
Say I open a contact with the email test@gmail.com then it registers it is that email address and it will change the DP to another image.

My coding skills arn't great but I could give it a try
Unless someone wants to contact me and we will do it togeather!)

Cheers,
Nathan

One problem with htis idea thoughm group conversations, How will a script know whick email to do, and also, when with tabbed chats and switching between chats, will the DP keep changing because if i was watching a DP that kept changing it would annoy me quite a bit.

you could have a default one where if the scirpt gets two email addresses/unknown one, it will set that as it?

Sorry to spoil the party, but the protocol won't allow it. Simple as that.

What has the protocol got to do with changing DP's via MP!L

because if you can change the DP with MP!L via a script you can change it per contact.

Wait;
After a couple of minutes really thinking i see what you mean and i got confused.
You could change it for the one person yet it would change it for everyone else as well

sorry.

You can change your own DP, yes, but not the one of a contact!
