O.P. 9.0 Convo Window: Keeping DP in "Small Mode"
Yeah the new display picture area in 9.0 takes A LOT of room, especially when your resolution isn't that high.

But then, Messenger comes with a size option for display pictures, but for some reason, it doesn't save it, which pretty much renders it useless anyways.

Is this a bug, or are there any workarounds?

I thought you could only choose the size option for the contacts list (Tools > Options > Layout), not the conversation window?

How about using a skin? I'm using LTD and in the top section of the conversation it shows a preview of the display picture, as you can see:

You could then hide the main display pictures and just use the smaller one at the top. :)
