"Awake" status icons rendered upside down!

I installed the Adiumies (Adiumsys) Status icons
(under Adium 0.8 on Mac OS X 10.3.9)
Adiumsys from
http://www.adiumxtras.com/index.php?a=x ... ra_id=1166

The green ducks (GAwake.png) appear upside down in the contact list.

I've checked the .png file (nothing wrong there), changed the Color theme, changed theList layout, changed the Window style, etc, etc, no change. The ducks continue to stand on their heads.

Tested with "Chat bubbles". The Awake icon is rendered upside down (not as obvious, being a balloon, but it is upside down).

Tested with Gems, green ball is upside down. (Keep the contact list and Prefs dialog open and compare the "highlight" on the ball.)

This is easiest to see with the ducks though :/

Possibly pervasive (beyond status icons). See also http://forums.cocoaforge.com/viewtopic. ... ght=upside

Well it's not my fault.

First I thought, “WOAH! There's a problem with MY SIMPLE STATUS ICON PACK?!” guess not ;)

Weird behaviour based on location?!

This is weird.

I get different results based on the machine I'm on.

My home directory is on an iPod. In the mornings (at the Job site) it's connected to a G4 laptop; in the afternoons (at home) it's connected to a G3 blue/white desktop system. Both systems are running Mac OS X 10.3.9. Same user id, same home dir, same copy of Adium.app (0.8.1)

On the G4 laptop, the Awake icons are upside down.
On the G3 desktop they aren't.

G4 has two displays (one external CRT); menu bar is on the laptop screen; Contact list is on the menu bar screen.

G3 has four displays; menu bar is on the second screen; Contact list is on the menu bar screen.

The ducks are acrobatic.
I'm confused.

Funny, I've got the exact same problem. Same version of Adium, same version of OSX, but at home on my iBook, the awake icons are upside down (I use circle ones just to stop it from being so annoying). On my work eMac, the icons are normal.

No one knows?

I'm not that slow!

I'm running 0.89 on both computers, and this issue has been present on my iBook through two updates.

well you said you were running the same version of aidum and they both said they were using .81...
