Unfortunately Dan your method doesn't work well... this is because the image is placed
on top of the buddy list. This means that any contacts under it disappear as well as the scroll bar. I tried placing it under the buddy list however it seems the buddy list is not transparent so to fix this needs editing of the buddy list UIFILE #936 (I think).
Edit: I guess I was 5 minutes too late with that one...
heres my code for getting it underneath the contact list
code:
<png layoutpos=right flip=false idres=1096 />
<buddylist id=atom(buddylistview) layout=filllayout()>
<element layoutpos=bottom layout=filllayout()>
</element>
</buddylist>
Insert the first line of code before the buddylist item. You get to see the picture for 2 seconds when MSN first loads
