The application’s icon is excellent, as is the ‘flaming’ effect when a message is received. The smileys however... ;0)
I would recommend anyone interested in OS X or interface design to look up and read Apple’s Human interface guideline. Its surprising how many applications don’t even attempt to use it.
Thought I’d also mention that Apple is hosting icon design ‘kitchens’ over the next few months if the poster would like to attend. They are free to all ADC members, even those in the free program.

Need any help making up the list? I had to do this for a website bbs
once.... ;)
Also, no offense to anyone, but the UI/icons for Fire are butt-ugly. I've
had enough experience working with software engineers to know that y'all
have no aesthetic taste (hey, that's why the original Netscape defaults were
so ugly), so you're not alone.
I don't have any experience designing icons, but I'd be happy to lend a hand
if anyone had suggestions as to where to start. As it is, I've ended up
going back to the AIM client because I can't stand looking at Fire.
