Goal: An Icon-Only Contact List for .82

Hey, under .81 I had a pretty good icon only contact list, but .82's scroll wheel behavior is different, so I wanted to see if anyone had any ideas on how I could get around it.

Old settings:
I had the maximum width of my buddy list set to 44. I had my buddy icons set to 42x42, and then a 2 pixel margin on the left side. This allowed me to see each buddy's status (Available, Away, Idle, or Away & Idle) at the same time. Whenever more buddies came on than my screen could handle, the scroll bar would appear outside of the 44 pixel area.

Now:
The scroll bar appears inside the 44 pixel area. This means that my buddy icons are partially covered by the scroll bar.

If I increase the maximum width to prevent the scroll bar from covering the icons, then when fewer than a full screen's worth of buddies are online, I get another 10 or so pixels of the status color, and the first letter of my buddy's name or something.

Any ideas on what settings I could use to get it close to what I used to have under .81?

(Edited to call it bar.)

Scroll bar, not scroll wheel, FYI. And it shouldn't have changed between 0.81 and 0.82; could you show screenshots of both?

Here you go, I'll put up shots with the settings all the same.

Here is how it used to operate.

Here is .82 with the same settings.
