MSN Messenger Tips
Creating you own
custom Web Messenger Emoticons
If you wish to create
your own emoticons it’s pretty easy. To begin with find a
picture that you think would make a good emoticon.
It’s worth noting though, the images for emoticons are pretty
small so if your picture has too much detail it won’t look so
hot.If you wish to create an animated emoticon then you’ll just need to
create an animated GIF ,
I’d recommend using something like Animation shop which is part of
Paintshop pro, it’s easy to use and enables you to create
effects on a single image or string together a whole succession
of images so you can get some great effects very easily.
Once you’ve decided
on the image you wish to use it will need to be in one of the
following formats
BMP , GIF “if
animated “, JPG / Jpeg or PNG .
Firstly open up a chat window and now go to the emoticon
selection ,
select More under the emoticons,
select Create
Click on Find
Image and point it at your image. Give it a name and a
keyboard shortcut and your done , you should now have a custom
web messenger emoticon.
Screen Magnifying
When you have a chat
dialogue box open, if you hold down the CTRL key and use the
mouse wheel to scroll up you’ll find the chat screen becomes
magnified .
Just hold the CTRL
key and scroll the wheel the other way to zoom out.
