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.

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!
