Ever wanted to create your own display pictures for MSN Messenger? This tutorial describes how you can turn a (part of) a photo, a drawing, etc. into your own personal display picture to show off to your friends. In order to start turning your picture into a display picture you first need to download a program that makes it possible to edit an exisiting picture, and cut out a square (crop) of an existing picture. A program I use a lot for doing things like this is called IrfanView, which is free for personal use and is quite easy to download and install.
Read the rest of Make your own display pictures.
this site is cool and i love it
can any1 tell me how and where i can create my own moving msn display picture, i have msn messenger v. 7.5
Does anyone know the location of the directory where msn messenger 7 saves contact display pictures?
Open a folder and enter into the Address line:
%appdata%\Microsoft\MSN MessengerYou see folder(s) that have a number as name. Look if there is a UserTile folder inside. If so, it might contains files with names starting with TFR and having a dat extension.
If you drag a file on IrfanView and it can handle it, it will show a message asking if you want to rename the file. Select No. If it's the display picture you want to use you can copy it and rename it. Or, maybe better, copy all files first, and then rename the files.
Emoticons are stored in the folder CustomEmoticons.
Yeah i'd also like to know how can i have moving msn displays (i've got msn 7.5) i think :D
thanx

i really really love this site its awsome
hiya i avent really looked at the site so i hope its gud l8az x x x
very interesting website, the information provided is very helpful in regards to customizing msn messenger. i was initially here searching on how to make an animated display pic, but without having any success i tried to use an animated .gif image file to see if it would allow this much fun to be had, and just as i figured,- it wouldn't!! so now i ask if anyone might know of such a way to make your personal display an animated image? i almost want to purchase their stupid "meedisplays" and other "meecontent" to find out if there are any user files that might reveal how to customize this option for yourself. anyhow thats all i wanted to ask. thanx again for the info. -tmt-
As far as I know, animated display pictures can not be made by users because they have to be signed. Technically there might be a work around, but I don't have any information on this at the moment.
love it love it love it LOVE IT
Yes, there MUST be a workaround .. unfortunately nobody seems to have discovered it yet ... darn it .. I really wanted to make my own animated displays =[

I also would like to know very much if there is any way to make your own animated msn display pictures. If anyone has any information for me you can leave a comment on this page. Thanks -
i love you the designer
hey i think i found a way to make an animation display picture all u need is paint shop pro 11 from corel u can easly get a working crack so u can acces all the stuf then u need a file called Microsoft GIF Animator u can just google this.
then u open a picture u run paint shop pro and open the pic u want then u copyy and past it 3 times then u choose the magic wand this is a tool on the side bar and u select the areas u wanna glitter in ur pic the u go to adjust then add/remove noise and choose add noise this is on the toolbar at the top. then choose monochrome and gaussine and u can experiment with the noise amount because i use it at 70 others use it at 20 and it has different affects.
then u open the tubes option on the left hand toolbar and chosse a picture that u want as the sparkles, u then put 2 in the area u want to glitter(2 in different positions in every picture so they look like the glitter area is shiny)
then u save all 3 pictures as .gif so u can animate them.
now close psp and open the animation program i mentioned above open all 3 pictures and arange them in any order u like. then click on the animation tab and choose looping and repeat for ever then click on the image tab and set the duration of each picture to anything between 15-25 other wise it would b too fast or too slow, now u click the little "|>" on the top of the program to c ur animation if u like it save it and then apply it as ur display picture in msn if u dont like it change some stuff until u do like it. THIS SHOULD WORK WITH YOU AS IT HAS WORKED WITH ME AND SEVERAL OTHERS.
i think this site is cool its just that i want a new display picture it would make this site better if right away u would get your own display pictures. but in other words this site is the bomb to me maybe to others its not but to me it is fantastic am lovin it.
this from ur girl kanilsha hope u understand the little things that this website needs and people will go to it more . you all should put more information like how to create an display picture and much more and if you do that this site will be even more interesting.like i said i am lovin this site baby.!!!!!

I used the program called MS GIF Animator and i created 3 frames with different pictures in each frame hence creating an animated gif. I saved it and put it as my display pic in messenger live but its not animated, only the first frame is shown :( Any ideas?
this website is the best but i cant see how to make or create my own msn so i woulod like you to help me do that if you have inove time tia
bye
i love this syt its totally awsum man
That's true - you can't put animated .gif files in as animations in MSN Messenger Live - i think they disabled the ability to show more than one frame - does anyone know how to disable this?
Nice site.... but I did not find what I was looking for. I too was looking for a way to make animated display pictures.
Little remark.... Why use a bootleg psp when there are programs like the Gimp around. With it you do not even need extra tools to animate gifs. Sure it has a learning curve.... but don't all programs?
An Animated display pictures, or Dynamic Display Pictures (DDP) as Microsoft calls them, are made with Flash and need to be digitally signed to be able to work with MSN Live Messenger:
[quote] Due to security concerns, Dynamic Display Pictures can only be purchased from official Microsoft content partners... [/quote]

MSN never allowed animated GIF avatars 'till the arrival of Windows Live 9.5 in 2011. Update your Windows Live Software to 9.5, go on it, add the intended animated GIF, and it should work!
