The problem seems to have reoccurred with Adium 1.4b17. The + button yields an entry labelled "(placeholder)", but as soon as I edit the text or try to change the protocol, it disappears again.

Done and done.

I love it! I prefer the from-scratch version, personally. Colouring the default duck brown just wouldn't have the same effect.

The away and idle states could use some work, though. Maybe away could be a freakishly large footprint?

Sorry, the download link was corrupted. All fixed now.

Done. Sorry it took me a year and a half to fix the problem...
