Large Emoticon Size Limit of 50x50 by Zantis on 09-30-2007 at 06:59 PM

This is probably more for Patchou,

Long ago in a land far, far away (7.5 messenger) we could download stuffplug and make it so we could send huge images for emoticons, at least as big as we wanted.  All my friends use to send larger icons all the time.  Then we went and switched to Live Messenger and lost that ability.  We have been waiting and watching StuffPlug for a long time and nothing has developed.  Just curious but is this something that might be able to be done in the next Messenger Plus edition as I don't think that StuffPlug is gonna come out with that option anytime soon since it has been over a year now. 

Thanks in advance,

Zantis

not possible, messenger resizes on both ends iirc

Well it was possible before and your going to tell me that it isn't possible now?  It's always possible to break it :)  I bet Patchou can.

Still waiting for a response from Patchou, to see what he has to say about the issue.

Thanks.

Just because it was possible before, doesn't mean that it always will remain possible. Toddy is correct in the explanation....

And it is for this reason that other things such as larger display pics are no longer possible.

I other words... theoretically it is still possible, but your friends/contact will ONLY see it when they install the software for bigger DPs too. It's no fun when everyone has to install software to see your DP properly, so i don't think it will be done anytime soon.

Well that is all find and dandy for us, we as friends all downloaded and installed Messenger Plus and StuffPlug and Audiator anyway, so it worked.  We would love for it to work as part of the messenger plus.  Well millions of us have installed Messenger Plus and the sounds only work for the people that also have Messenger Plus.  I'll send Patchou postcards from every place I travel during the year if he makes that a feature.  :)

Maybe if they get enough request microsoft themselves will add the feature. You can post comments and suggestions at:

When people send me oversized emoticons, i have noticed that if i use StuffPlug's content stealer, the images appear full size there. It appears that they are only resized when they are displayed in the message window, not the file for the image itself.

Isn't it like the same thing for coloured display names?

Yes, but that is useful in a way :p.

Only a select few want huge ass DPs and Emoticons :p.

Is there any kind of code hack to override the resizing to 50x50?
