Hi!
I downloaded the new release of Fire yesterday, and was amazed to see how
incredibly it has evolved since the Public Beta days when I last checked it
out seriously. ICQ support is now terrific, and the GUI is superior to any
of the other clones!
So, when I saw how cool it had become, I instantly felt an urge to help make
it even better. So, I checked out the source over anonymous CVS and browsed
the source for a while. Then I made a modification that you may want to
include in an upcoming version.
Take a look at these pictures:

As you can see, what I did was to add a visual indication of what services
are online to the icon, to complement the online user display. This is about
30 minutes worth of work, so it isn't exactly refined, and even though I
coded in defaults for it, I haven't made a suitable GUI for it, mainly
because I wanted to hear if the moderators would like it to become a feature
in a future version. If you do, I would gladly make the additional
adjustments to facilitate the feature.
Maybe the non-active services should also be drawn in their circles, but at
.4 opacity or in black and white or something like that...
I hade to change the structure a little bit in the dock icon updating, in
order to allow for this feature. I added a method and moved a few things
around in the user number drawing. It shouldn't be difficult at all to
integrate, though.
So, Eric, would you like something like this, or should I scrap the idea and
find something else to do? :)
