HEY people
i was just wondering how al these sites make emtions and programs to go with msn i would like to know how they do it plz reply someone i wish i could make my own emotions and stuff for msn and other messengers help me plz

Photoshop?

Google is your FRIEND.

Emoticons = You can use Fireworks, PsP, Photoshop, heck - you can even try it with Paint.

Programs = You need to learn a coding language like VB or C++ (but this isn't something you learn over night).

Well the Graphics like the emoticons and others stuff I would recommend using Adobe PhotoShop or Paint Shop Pro 9.

For the programming I first learnt with VB (Visual Basic 6) works great for making add on’s to msn messenger and quick programs but no longer works to well with the new msn versions. Then I went on to learning C++ which is a more complex programming language used to perform more detailed tasks and better for compatibility. Like blade said you can not learn programming over night. It takes time. I suggest you get a good easy VB programming book like Visual Basic 6 for dummies (excellent book for beginners), a Visual Basic 6 program to code in and check out www.planetsourcecode.com for tones of examples and full VB programs to download and work with.

Hope this helps.

tbh, you can find so many sites with emoticons  you can use, ive never felt the need to do my own, and the one i did do, i did in paint, just editing colours n stuff.... its pretty easy, and pretty simple ive never actually used photoshop, but ive seen it used, and it would be best if you want more professional looking emotes
