# About Snapshots

## What are snapshots?

Snapshots are little pictures which show up in the snapshots window instead of plain, boring usernames. You can set up a snapshot for yourself which people who have you on their .anyone file will see when they log on. You can also set up snapshots for your friends through X resources, so that you'll see the snapshots you want instead of their snapshots or their boring old usernames. You can also set up snapshots for your aliases through X resources.

Snapshots may be monochrome or multicolor, and several formats can be read.

There's also an experimental way to get animated snapshots.
