CREATING a new emoticon -
When MSN Messenger stores your new emoticon, it automatically
resizes it to 19 ×
19 pixels. (Custom or premium emoticons
resize at 50 × 50
pixels.)
You can use the following file formats to create custom emoticons:
JPEG, BMP, GIF, and PNG. Animated GIFs are acceptable as well.
I noticed that animated .gifs are instantly considered custom
emoticons, so they will not be resized if they are smaller than 50
x 50.
However, non-animated gifs will be resized to 19 x 19. What exactly
is the difference between a normal and 'custom' emoticon? I'm
trying to create emoticons(smaller than 50 x 50) but they always
get resized to 19 x 19, which is tiny. Does anyone have a solution
to it?
