[Adium-devl] Toolbar icons

[Paul Wilde]

Heh, it's hard to move you all away from the duck. :p Personally, I'm  
not much of a duck lover, so I thought having a more standard icon  
(the man) would satisfy everyone, whether they hate the duck or not.  
I've made a version with the ducks to see what you think.

I've also done a couple of the suggestions that Evan has proposed to  
see his verdict. At the moment I haven't worked on the speech bubble  
itself yet.

The Show Info icon? Yeah... I'll have another go at that, maybe  
sticking with the same idea as the current, but with my own style?  
Also Evan, do you think the Emoticon icon is fine? as you never  
mentioned whether you liked it or not.

At the end of the day though, it's impossible to satisfy everyone  
with these icons.
