Nice, very nice!

Is it possible to make a version where the away status is not so red? Maybe a grey transparant something?

Anyway, I love the design.

Alert + idle isn't handled well. This wasn't a problem in LightBubble. It looks like the alert state became an overlay when the name changed, so I suspect the problem is that the alert state overlay is conflicting with the idle overlay. I don't know how to fix it.

One of the things that I tried to support with Caplet Chat is knowing when you’re both away and idle. The problem is Adium Xtras’ .plist files only support single statuses. However, if I make the idle status an overlay but make the away status not an overlay, both statuses can show up simultaneously without complication. However, I also decided to make the alert status as an overlay, so that it will never interfere with the away status either, and it will look visually aesthetic when the user’s connection status changes between online, away, invisible, and offline. The Alert + Idle bug was a problem I knew of going into making Caplet Chat, but I thought that of all the status combination complications, that one would be the least problematic to users. With that being said, I will definitely look into fixing this problem, but no guarantees :)

I seem to have a way of finding the unusual cases. :)

I have a dock icon that will display idle + away, idle + alert, and away + alert. However, idle + away + alert looks identical to idle + alert. This was an acceptable compromise for me, I don't know if it works for you.
