Anyone know how to make AIM buddy icons?

[Nessie]

I'm looking for someone who knows how to make AIM buddy icons... I want one with Mariska Harigtay... I have a picture I want to use, but I don't know how to make it smaller without distorting it. Or how to make buddy icons that have flashing pictures, so I can make one icon with several pictures. And a flashing avatar too... so, like, if I wanted a picture, then flash to a quote or something, then flash back to the pic, and back and forth.

If you can help me out let me know... I'll give blessings.

Post the pic, and the quote, specify the quote background and font. Also, I'll need the size requirements for AIM.

you could always take a screenshot, then edit it and cut out the AIM Icon...

 

[Nessie]

AIM requires height and width to be no more than 64 pixels.


I want this to be the pic, but I only want the top half, you know, that shows her face (it wouldn't let me edit the photo myself for some reason, and paste it into CF...)

For the words, flashing,

First time I want it to say

Speak​

the​

Truth​

Second flash:​

Seek​

the​

Truth​

Third flash:​

Be​

the​

Truth​

Fourth flash:​

Mariska​

Hargitay​

Purple text on a white background... comic sans preferably, but if it's unreadable, any text will do (times new roman, ariel, etc.)​

I dunno if you'll be able to fit that into 64 pixels. If you can, that would be great!!! But if it is absolutely impossible, an avatar, 120 by 120 pixels, or 64 kb, whichever is smaller (CF rules...) will be allright. But please, if you can make it an AIM icon that would rock! (If it has to be an avatar, don't crop the picture down to her face, use the whole pic, unless just a little needs to be taken off the bottom for size purposes)​

I'll have it up by the end of this weekend.

 

[Bladecarver]

Let me know what you think.

 

[Nessie]

I am impressed!! Thank you!

 

[Nessie]

Okay, I had to use it as my avatar because when I went to put it in AIM it said in addition to being 64pixels, its maximum size has to be 7168 bytes. Is there a way to make the file size smaller?

 

[Bladecarver]

Not that I can find...

 

[Nessie]

Okay, that's fine... I'll just use it as an avatar. Thanks again though! I love it!

Hey There,
I took the one Bladecarver made and made it a little smaller. The size of it is 11.1 KB. Hope this works for you.



Oops! I misread your post. I thought it said KB. Sorry.
