Edit the theme file and rename it to something other than "Default". (re)start pidgin, and select your theme in the prefs dialog. I didn't bother to check, but I'm sure a Google or two will find you a usable tarball of the theme. If that's the case, you can just drag and drop the tarball onto the smiley prefs page.

I can't seem to find a decent wiki article at the moment, but try the following: - On the Pidgin buddy list window, click the button at the bottom that says your current status, and hit "New Status..." This dialog will automatically default to your current status, if for instance, you want to just change one account to away, and leave the others alone. - Expand the "Use a different status for some accounts" text, if it isn't already. - Click on an account and set it to whatever status you desire. - Repeat above step as many times as is desired. - Click "Use" or "Save and Use" to make it happen. If you give text in the "Title" box at the top, such as "Aim sleeping, msn invisible, yahoo offline", Pidgin will display that title in the status box, should you wish to reuse this saved status later or set Pidgin to start up to that saved status every time you launch it.

If he has a separate system account, this shouldn't be happening, and is
likely a bug. If so, double check that neither of you have modified the
environment variable PURPLEHOME, and/or both have PIDGIN_MULTI_INST set to 1
(but latter shouldn't be neccessary).
Otherwise, if you're trying to share a single user account, save something
like the following as a .bat file, and use it to start 'your' pidgin. Copy
and edit this to launch 'his', making sure to modify the PURPLEHOME [1] line
to suit your setup ("C:\altuser\settings", or what have you). Note that this
is in no way secure, and you really _should_ use separate system accounts
[2]:
===
set PIDGIN_MULTI_INST=1
set PURPLEHOME=%APPDATA%
start "C:\Program Files\Pidgin\pidgin.exe"
===
Alternative is to create custom shortcuts to pidgin.exe, see -c and -m [3].
