Contact list help..

Hi.. I was just wondering if there is a way to show your user-image, name and status in the top of the contact list. Maybe some thing like this:

I don't want it to be a part of the "window toolbar", just a part of the contact list. Could that be done?

Not currently. This has been requested and discussed in the past.

If you add yourself to your buddy list, you will appear on the contact list. This works for AIM/ICQ i believe, not sure about MSN

I have already done that, I guess it could work for now at least. Is there a way to make my own user-image bigger than the rest or do I have to make it the same size?

Thanks for the quick reply's.

Nope, all the icons in the contact list must be the same size. Cool idea though

That would actually solve the problem with the contact list, cause then you have all the things I asked for - user icon, name and status is already there - and with the option to make your own user icon larger then your contacts, you could just make your own little "header".

I thought of one more thing.. Is there some way to delete or replace the generic icon that appears when a contact hasn't defined a user icon? So that it is replaced by default with an icon like the silhouette used for the user accounts in osx.

I hate this image!
