Nah guys! What I meant was that the end result of virtually anyone trying to make a universally pretty contact list style has shown itself to be Apple's own aqua style - me included. We're all working towards excellence and it's just interesting that we all came up with the same result, bar for some...

I find it interesting that virtually every suggestion has been, in a word, Aqua.

Seems that Apple really are the lords of design!

All Tango and Flight variants certifiably use pre-packaged Mac OS X fonts. We settled on the font over and above Lucinda Grande because we believe it feels more in tone over different point sizes. I'm not sure about iBubble being the default icon pack. It's dead nice, but it can look bloated and clu...

OK, so I was after the most cluttered and over the top system style I could possibly find and came up with this:

I have a question for everyone: How important is the service icon to you? For me, at least, I try to eradicate every indication that multiple services exist. I use metacontacts a lot, don't have service icons, etc... I want to talk to people, not 'contacts' :) They're not important to me at all. Ju...

I'm not sure if they should be defaults but they certainly should be bundled IMHO - fantastic piece of work that's popular and functional

I think you can put images in as poll answers on this board... maybe people could be asked to turn their applications in to this thread by time x and a poll brought about containing all the contenders; that way, the devs will have the last word (they deserve it - it's their product after all!) and t...

That would be cool! How would we orchestrate it though?

Tango (SJ) looks ser-weet! Definite contender for the default CL style, if not an outright winner!

Nah, it flat out needed the changes you implemented - looks cleaner and more professional

Perhaps swap the status and service icons around? Or maybe ditch the service icons altogether? I agree, the status is more important to me than the service; however, with a sufficiently clear yet compact icon pack, I believe it is fairly productive as a badge. Putting the service icons as badges cov...

Exactly - normal means something different to each of us so it will be important to include a range of themes.
