How to add a bigger Emoticon in Windows live messenger ?

Hey everyone, whenever I try to add a "big" an emoticon on Windows live Messenger, it shrinks and is just ridiculously small, because it resizes automatically !

How can I add a real big emoticon without having it downsized ??

Thx

The "big" emoticons must be animated in GIF format.

If you want to use a still image, you can try the dot trick. First you make two frames of the image (basically two GIF images), then on one of them, you put a little dot (you can do this from the pencil tool in Paint) that's a slightly different shade than what its replacing. Then put the two GIF's in a program that can create one whole animated GIF. You can use UnFREEz 2.1 (free), Microsoft GIF Animator (free), and Adobe Imageready (you get this from buying Photoshop).

Then on MSN you will have the illusion that the image is not animated, since the dot is too small for MSN to display. Or you can make it so the frames change only once.

And of course for this, you have to buy it as Photoshop from a store or something.
