Plug-ins and add-ons for Windows Live Messenger 2009

Change your avatar with different photos of your choice
MSN Pictures Displayer, Animatar :
Rather then being reduced to a simple avatar, how about automatically changing through a range of photos! This is what is on offer with the MSN Picture Displayer and Animatar plug-ins. These applications propose a few avatars as a starting point, but the best thing is the possibility of selecting a folder where you can find your own. The user can state the time they want each to be displayed before changing, with the tool working in multi-accounts mode. You can even associate a personal message with each avatar.

Animated avatars pack
A large number of sites offer animated avatars, which are simply animated GIF files. If you don’t know how to create one of these files then its best you search the web for animated avatar packs. The site Wikikou offers thousands (avatars or smiley’s), in the same way as msntrucastuce.fr which has avatard themed packs and more then 1200 GIF format avatars. This is also the case for Emoticons-plus, and Avatars Gratuits…  To use these avatars you don’t have to do anything in particular besides going into WLM’s tools menu, and changing your personal image.

Smiley and emoticons packs
To show emotion during your conversations, words are not always the best way of displaying what you want to say. Sometimes a picture may speak louder then words. If you believe this then we invite you to enrich WLM with one of the smiley or emoticons packs in either 2D or 3D. There are many free sites like Wikikou, msntrucastuce, I love messenger, Rue du Smiley, GigaSmiley, Smiley Gratos, Emoticone gratuit…
