Use a miniaturized Buddy List in iChat
Authored by: acaltabiano on Jun 06, '06 09:06:25AM

um.. wouldn't it just be easier to use ichat's preferences to put the status indicator in the menu bar? from there you can easily access your buddy list AND your personal status, all without "unhiding" the ichat window.

Saves you the applescript, too.

The OP mentions early in the hint that they don't like to use iChat's menu extra.

That said, I agree with you - doesn't iChat's menu bar extra give you quick access to your buddy list? How is a shrunken buddy list any better?

Well, for one you can't enter custom away messages in the menu extra, only ones you've used before. It's a matter of personal preference. Some people don't like menu extras at all.
