O.P. Contact List Image Manager
I'm looking to take this up as a project, and I just want to make sure no-one else is working on it already.

Product Brief
Put simply, it'd take an image and make it lvback.gif.
Put more eloquently, it'd take a picture, give the user some, fewer or more options on how to convert it to a GIF, and overwrite any existing lvback.gif with the converted image. There could even be an option to backup the old image, for later restoration.

Can you also vote on the name please? Thanks muchly :D

Edit: I've added Shawnz' suggestion to the poll, so can people please vote again?

You should insert it in msnmsgr.exe with reshack so you can use a PNG...

Not possible - Messenger looks for a specific file in a specific location.

Not so - just close the contact list, and open it again ;)

I'd rather stay away from writing patches and such, and so will continue with lvback.gif. Maybe someone with patching experience can do a PNG thing?

Also, the PNG method prevents you using animated pics AFAICT.

Well, so far I've got the hook working, so I should be able to add a functioning menu. I've also done the dialog (think Display Picture dialog), but I've still got the main work to do - the pictures themselves.
