In the latest version of Messenger, you can personalize how you express yourself during conversations by changing your “scene.” Your scene appears at the top of the main Messenger window, behind your display picture and name. Also, when you start chatting with someone, they’ll see your scene at the top of their conversation window, and you’ll see theirs.
To change your scene, point to the top of Messenger’s main window, and the upper-right corner will appear to peel back to reveal a little paintbrush.
Click that corner, and then choose from one of the scenes included with Messenger. Better yet, you can use one of your own pictures as your scene. (You can also change the color scheme of your Messenger main window here.)
If you want to use one of your own photos as your scene, it’s easy: just drag a photo from your computer and drop it at the top of Messenger’s main window.
Now, when you start a conversation with someone, they’ll see your scene at the top of the conversation window, and you’ll see theirs.
