How, on my contact list, Next to my contacts, it shows the away message of the contact, and the idle times, how can i change that...

and then also, when i have it set so that the contact list style is Group Bubbles, i have a lot of contacts, so there is a scroll bar on the right, how can i get rid of the scroll bar.?? but i dont want it to automatically size vertially, kuz then it is way to long for my screen, can i change this? without a scroll bar?

For the first part, look at the appearance tab of the preferences. Next the List layout there will be a Customize button. In there, there should be the relevant options you are looking for.

About the scroll bar, the only thing i can think of is to start organising your contact into groups, so you can show.hide contacts with ease.
