Do you use MSN Messenger? Learn how to spruce up the border and background images; we currently offer a sentry and PlanetFortress picture to put in and remind who loves ya! Create your own and send it to us!


How To Install
  • Background Image: Save the image you wish to use for the background, ensure it is named: "lvback.gif" (without quotes), and place it in the Windows Messenger directory: C:\Program Files\Messenger, by default.
  • Border Images: Works just the same as the background image, but ensure the file dimensions and names match those which you are replacing. It's just that easy!
  • Note: BACKUP your original images so you can revert back if you so desire!

    Sentry Background by NaKa008

    PlanetFortress Editor's Choice.

    Get that ever-needed fill up from the cute dispenser. You'll notice a similar fade effect has been done to match the theme set by the origial Messenger background image. I do believe this one is tasty!

    Install: Right click "save as" to save the image to your hard drive. Once done, remove "dispenser-" from the filename and then place the image in the MSN Messenger directory (C:\Program Files\Messenger).



    Medic Background by Dan Andrews
    Dan says this background gives "everyone's favourite class in action" the proper spotlight. DieHard may want to have a word with you for the "everyone's favorite" statement, but we won't hold that against the image, now will we?

    Install: Right click "save as" to save the image to your hard drive. Once done, remove "medic-" from the filename and then place the image in the MSN Messenger directory (C:\Program Files\Messenger).



    PlanetFortress Background by NaKa008
    NaKa008 was kind enough to tribute PlanetFortress with this background image! Try it out and see if it fits for you.

    Install: Right click "save as" to save the image to your hard drive. Once done, remove "pf-" from the filename and then place the image in the MSN Messenger directory (C:\Program Files\Messenger).





If you make your own Messenger image that you think others would enjoy, send us a link so we can check it out, then add to our library (with proper credit to you, of course).
