Comment (by deviousdragen):

 I'm a new comer to your program, I'm not going to lie. I Downloaded it
 tonight and found that the protocol icons were hard to navigate. I'm sorry
 to say but most of my friends have multiple s/n's on different programs,
 and perfer me to not message them on certain ones. Now, they sign onto
 certain programs for different reasons, so there is times when glancing
 over to see which program they are on, is valuable information.

 Now, mousing over, is annoying, and right clicking is difficult. I don't
 want to spend a couple minutes distinguishing what is going on. Streamline
 is having all the information you need in an easy fashion. Not all the
 information is present, and it's confusing.

 Another thing. My aim client has 200 or more s/n's. My Yahoo, has about
 100 (some people of which only talk to me when invisible, and they didn't
 appear on the buddy list...so I'd never be able to talk to them) Now...If
 i was to "mouse-over" i'd be there for a long time...

 I feel that this feature is important for a multi-protocol client and i am
 absolutely  saddened that it's not as easy as i hoped. I hope that you fix
 this feature, or make an option in the preferences, so we have the option
 to view things the way WE want to see it. Maybe i don't want it that
 simplistic. Remember, one man's simplicity is another man's frustration...
