It can do size, among other things. Not sure how many people are
actually using the extra features some folks talked me into adding,
but they are there. You can read through the plugin page to get an
idea of what they were asking for. Here is a current screen shot as
well:

You're obviously more than welcome to use any of the code from this
plugin for whatever you decide is best if you so desire. I would also
be happy to help, although I'm guessing most of this would be fairly
trivial for any of you - there really isn't much to this.

Thanks. Pidgin 2.0 looks great, btw.
