    The smaller buddy icons that would show up in the buddy list are gone. I have a lot of buddies and now it takes a while to scroll down if I have icon view enabled.

    The theme is really nice and clean, but there’s no option to change the look or color which is disappointing.

    Click Menu > View > Show Buddy Icons and the buddy icons will show up on your buddy list.

    Those icons are large and create gaps between the names on the buddy list. That’s what my point was.

    So does it support animated GIFs or not?

      I think there’s a bug with this. I have to check.
