I'm fairly new to Adium, but I have created my own dock icon, so I know a little about how it works. Some icons have their own invisible state which is separate from the others. I guess if the icon doesn't have an invisible state it defaults to away. I downloaded the Domo-Kun icon in your pic and checked its prefs file and it doesn't have an invisible state listed, so I added one and told it to use the image for awake. It just takes a minute. I use an app called Pref Setter to work with prefs files. If you wanted to create a unique icon for invisible, you could just edit the png image yourself and call it invisible.png and then in prefs point the invisible state to that image. Anyway, if you love the Domo-Kun icon it's pretty simple to edit icons yourself to make them do what you want, or you could just use a different icon that has an invisible state already in it.

Yeah, I think the way to do this is gonna have to be to edit the dock icon to add an invisible state, and just make that state the same as the available state (or whatever else you might want it to be).
