[FOUND] Animated icons from Windows Live Messenger beta 9

[Patachoo]

A month ago, while looking on internet about the defaults Windows Live Messenger icons/avatars, I found randomly this screenshot, featuring a fish icon among the other icons :

I found this little illustration cute, so I wanted to find the original file, but I can't find it. I thought at first maybe it's not an icon who where integrated by default on the software, but rather an image someone exported to Live Messenger. But according to the forum when the image was posted, it seems this fish icon was integrated by default to the Beta 9 of Windows Live Messenger :

From this forum : web.archive.org/web/20190808002746/https://habtium.es/forum/topic/1325 (used Wayback Machine because of broken images links)

Translation of the spanish text on the screenshot (via DeepL translations) :

Animated images as your avatar. There's not much to explain; now you can put animations in *.Gif format in your avatar.

So yeah it seems this fish was part of the defaults gif icons from the Beta, but what happened to this icon and the other four ones now, where are they ? I was not able to find them too

Back to the previous month, I also found this screenshot : and here the fish is not on the same position compared to the previous screenshot, so it probably confirm it was really a gif. There're also the other icons we saw on the previous screenshot, except the city icon. I think the 5 animated icons the forum was talking about are the fish icon, the city icon, the starry sky icon, the music notes icon and the sun icon

(but here's my mistake, I forgot to note from which website I found this screenshot and now I can't find it anymore with reverse research argh)

I also tried to consult the watermark website, but it doesn't load on Wayback Machine  so for the moment, there're the only images I was able to find about these icons

Edit : Found two new screenshots from a chinese website : news.qudong.com/article/19256.shtml

So I throw a bottle into the sea : if someone know where to find this icons, or want to help me to find them, your help is welcome ! I'm really intrigued about them

That's amazing thanks a lot Daniele ! Really happy to finally see these icons (the fish one is so cute !), thank you for your help !

Now there is only the music notes icon who is missing, but getting already 4 out the 5 missing icons is already incredible !!
