In msn 7 how do you add your own animated smilies?


RE: Adding animated smilies by Sunshine on 04-05-2005 at 11:00 AM

In a convowindow click the emoticonbutton, click on "more" then on "create". Next click on "find image" and browse to where you stored the smiley (rest is selfexplanatory).

Some do work, and some don't unfortunately...

Hopefully microsoft fixes this problem up before the final release

so is this the reason...just because its a beta? or is it to do with what your trying to add *-)

It has to do with looping (amount of times it animates), edit the emote in f.e Jasc Animationshop and make sure looping isn't set to indefinate. Hopefully in the final version of MSN 7 this will be supported (they are aware of the problem).

Yes thats what i mean. I also know some that are set to indefinate do work (it is a MSN Messenger bug that not all animated emotes can be added). Just incase the one you try to add doesn't you can try and edit it that way, lots of times it works ;)

in adobe imageready if you change the "frame disposal methods" of the last frame to "do not dispose" it normally works out fine in msn

maybe they arent set to infinite But they have a big number of loops that even over 8 hours they dont stop..

like someone writing 999999999999 loops

will that work?
