I'd like to see "Gems" go and be replaced by "Uwy". Sherif does bring up a couple of points I hadn't thought about previously which seem important.

I inspected Uwy comparing it to our current default set, iBubble status. This is what I found: - Uwy has an icon called "Online.png". It looks a wee bit different than "Available.png" but I don't really see a point in the differentiation. - Uwy's NewMessage.png seems to equate to iBubble Status' content.png. - Uwy lacks busy.png (as mentioned) as well as enteredtext.png and unknown.png. > - It slightly breaks consistency of the circle-shape perhaps, but purple and > blue are not as intuitively relating to "writing" and "new message" like > green (available, go!), yellow (might be away), and red (busy, probably don't > message) are, and I recommend they be replaced by other more representative > ones, such as a pencil with ... after it, or speech bubble, etc. (for > example, Stockholm Status Icons: > http://www.adiumxtras.com/index.php?a=xtras&xtra_id=3014) This might be something to consider, too. > Those are just my humble recommendations, and I don't know how feasible it > would be to do this.

If > Uwy was used as it currently is, I still think it's preferable. Agreed. Cheers, Robbie
