bigger windows live emoticons

[leroyas]

I wonder how is possible to make custom emoticons (smileys) in windows live messenger bigger than the original smileys are. I use ulead gif animator and I can not figure it out. I got from my friends many smileys that are huge and they work with windows live without problems...How could I make such a smiley with gif animator and PI?

I did try this instructions http://www.ulead.com/learning/ga/ga5_06_1.htm
the only difference is that I didn't use PI to make a 30x27 pixels JPG, but with ulead gif animator at the end I got a little smiley in windows live messenger - and cause I used also written words with it, it was too little to read it..I would need a bigger one.. I know that the instructions are for earlier MSN, but maybe there is a way..

thank you for your help,

You need something bigger than 30 x 27 pixels for starters.

Today is everything different...I became a real pro I make smileys 50x50 pixels with no problem. In windows live messenger that is the limit for gif. I spent many hours but now I know.. I know about the power of gif animation, and with such programs like Ulead GIF Animator 5 and PhotoImpact 11 there are no borders, only my imagination.

thanks anyway..
