| | Windows Live Messenger Themes Why when the Messenger main window is put to maximize mode, even on my relatively low-resolution (1024x768) screen, it looks pixilated to all hell? Only the default theme looks good in maximize mode and it's not particularly appealing to me. Any way to fix this, or do we have to wait for Microsoft to get around to it in 3 years? |

| | Re: Windows Live Messenger Themes the lower the resolution the more pixilated something appears.. can you send a screenshot? upload it to something like tinypic.com and post it I don't have such problems.... what is your color depth? 16 bit or true color? try setting to true color if its not...

| | Re: Windows Live Messenger Themes Greetings, If you're referring to the scenes at the top, they are resized to 640x320 - so even at that resolution, they will still be pixelated when larger than that size. There's no smoothing going on or anything else, probably for performance reasons on older machines. -- Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Live Messenger MSN Messenger/Windows Messenger MessengerGeek Blog: http://www.messengergeek.com Messenger Resources: http://messenger.jonathankay.com (c) 2009 Jonathan Kay - If redistributing, you must include this signature or citation -- "GIR-kun" <jordanvictor@xxxxxx> wrote in message news 00574E0-0023-421B-BA9E-E54F53E5FC53@xxxxxxQuote: > Why when the Messenger main window is put to maximize mode, even on my relatively > low-resolution (1024x768) screen, it looks pixilated to all hell?

| | Re: Windows Live Messenger Themes How is the resolution when you look at.. let's say photo's?or any other pictures? Personally I didn't like any of the themes so I browsed through pictures I had saved for diffren't desktop backgrounds and used one of them. It worked out nicely!
