Group chat default icon

[marrs]

Hi. I just upgraded to 1.5 and I would like to change this default user icon in group chats (see attached image). Where is this resource located? Any help is much appreciated!

Adium.app/Contents/Resources/Service Icons/Aqua.AdiumServiceIcons/jabber.png

But you would probably have to replace the icon every you update Adium (the binary is replaced) so I would suggest either simply choosing an existing alternative set of service icons (http://adiumxtras.com/index.php?a=search&cat_id=10) or creating one of your own.

Fantastic, thanks very much for the quick response!!

I don't seem to be able to get the group chat service icon to use any service icon Xtras that I've installed. Is it hard-coded to use the default Aqua pack?

Update: Realized that (1) the plists of the Xtras I tried were incomplete, and (2) I had to switch to a different group chat tab to see the change take effect.

That said, it seems to reserve a fixed amount of space for the service icon, which is still problematic. I tried using a set with nothing but a 1x1 transparent PNG in it, and there is an empty gap as wide as the usual XMPP icon

Guess I'll have to start digging through the Adium source and building my own.

I’m not a programmer so I can’t comment on what Adium code currently dictates…

but patches are definitely welcome.

patches are definitely welcome.

I've never hacked on a Mac app before (I'm a web dev, by trade), but if I can figure it out, I'll happily submit a patch!

It's possible also that it's already fixed in 1.6. I'll start with building that and seeing what changes.
