The user account icon alongside the service (Twitter, Identi.ca...) icon should be used when available, as every Twitter application out there is doing this and the user will mostly expect it from Gwibber.
In addittion, on Gwibber 3.2.0.1, the color is used on the new tweet tooltip, but NOT on the mouseover account icon that popups on every tweet/message. As a result, you'll have two or more identical icons with the same tooltip if you have more than one account with the same provider. Also, you will never know from what account the tweet/message comes from. Should I issue a separate bug? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gwibber in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/697612 Title: Use avatars in addition to colors for accounts selector Status in Gwibber: New Status in “gwibber” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: gwibber Gwibber is now a really good tool to manage several social services within a single tool. Something that could improve its usability for people who manage quite of a few of those (e.g. several twitter accounts) would be to show the avatar linked to the account in the icons used to select which account will be used to send a status update. At this time, Gwibber uses the service logo and a user-picked color (completed by a mouse over tooltip) ; instead of a color (or maybe in addition to it?), I think an icon that would combine the service logo and the avatar used for the given account would make it much easier to pick the right account one wants to use for a given update.
