I'm a little confused what you mean by this -- are you suggesting that if there
is no buddy icon available for a metacontact, the icon is removed? Would you
then have some metacontacts with icons, and others with just a blank space?

I'm fine with doing this for "Away", but I think "Online" would be too much
clutter, personally. By doing it for "Away" but not "Online", you can more
easily visually differentiate between the two states.

Look in the "View" colors. (You can pick which set of colors to edit by opening
up the drop-down list above the list of colors.)
