joscar testing request
Two requests for testing on the joscar branch in Adium (located at branches/adium-joscar in the repository):
1. I need people to test .Mac and ICQ. I don’t have accounts on either of these services, so I’d like someone to check and verify that my educated guesses worked out.
2. I need people to test it on Intel. I have no reason to think it’d be broken, but I can’t be sure unless someone tests it.
If you can do either of those, check out the source and try it out. Recent trunk builds (IE: as of now) detect converted joscar accounts and make them back into libgaim accounts.
If something breaks, let me know by emailing durin <at> sbcglobal <dot> net with subject “joscar test” and list what you tested.
Thanks.

To be honest I generally only like black/grey icons in the top menu bar – icons that are coloured tend to really glare out like a sore thumb.
I do however understand that it’s useful to be able to communicate the status of the user using this icon, and also whether the user has a message (contrary to my anti-colour stance I actually like the red eyes).
Are badges the best way to go about this? I imagine that you can represent online/offline/away with the following changes to the logo:
* online – unchanged from current icon – all black
* offline – a very light grey version
* away – a black outline of the icon with a grey centre
What do you think?
