I'm sure many of these comments will have been made/answered by the
time my mail gets through, if so, please politely comment that they have
so that I know to look elsewhere.
Other than the fact that we can now specify the text color for
various statuses, the fact that service icons are now all the way to the
left, and certain operations have been moved to the tool bar, i don't
see any differences. I agree with others that the colors are counter
intuitive in some cases. For example, red should not be used for away,
but offline... yellow is best suited for away as it is the intermediate
state between online & offline, but it's too bright so more of an
orange-ish yellow makes sense. Green would make sense for those that
have just signed on, but it looks like the ability to see who has just
signed on is gone. I also like gray for idle cause it implies that
they're there, but not entirely... not actually gone.
I still think that the away status icon should take precedence over
the idle one when someone is both idle & away. The issue this brings up
is how to do the text color correctly when someone is away and idle...
my best suggestion would be to set their account name to the idle color
and leave the status message (i.e. "Away" in the case of AIM and ICQ)
and icon set appropriately for the away status. This seems like a
simple solution to me, but I haven't looked at the code to see if it
would be difficult to implement (my guess is it wouldn't be). What do
the rest of you think?
Groups collapse/expand when you click on their name, not just when
you click on the disclosure triangle as should be the case.
As some have mentioned, a few of the icons (esp the disclosure
triangle) lack an alpha channel, but I've also seen an issue when icons
are composited lately (i.e. when the away post-it is placed on top of
the service icon) in that the data seems to be getting corrupted or
incorrectly calculated causing red pixels to appear where they shouldn't
be.
And last, but definitely NOT least... congrats on cool fixes such
as correctly displaying AIM info (hell, ALL of the get info improvements
lately!) and correctly setting AIM away messages! Despite the number of
negative issues people bring up, you all are doing an amazing job with
fire :)
