Very nice man.  Simple idea but incredibly effective.

Use a lighter orange for Away :p

or a way to customize what colour is assigned to which status :P

At first glance there isn't really a way of selecting any other colour other than what is in the list of 12 (I think it is). Eljay and I are looking at it.

Looks very nice matty :D

Edit: Except, offline contacts look gray, wouldn't red be better?

Green : Online
Yellow : Away
Red : Busy
Gray : Offline

I am going based off of the WLM Beta status colours.

pretty nice idea ;)

RE: DirectUIStatusColour v0.1 by matty on 12-01-2008 at 03:43 PM

Weird bug... if you change your status through a command the chat window is set to it's default colour :S.

Great idea matty! :) Simple, yet very useful

RE: DirectUIStatusColour v0.1 by T-PO on 12-01-2008 at 09:50 PM

Great script!!

Hopefully you can extent the script with an option panel so users can configure the colors themselves...

Keep up the good work!
