#7126: don't like sign in/out icon change
-------------------+--------------------------------------------------------
Reporter:  Timmer  |        Type:  enhancement          
  Status:  new     |   Component:  pidgin (gtk)         
 Version:  2.5.1   |    Keywords:  sign-in sign-out icon
-------------------+--------------------------------------------------------
 I tried searching for a bug (or really an enhancement request) on this
 issue but didn't find one, so I apologize if it's a duplicate.

 I don't like the black arrows for buddies signing in and out that came in
 pidgin 2.5.1.

 I've been using 2.5.1 for two weeks, and I didn't mind the change at
 first, but I've gradually found it more annoying.  The arrow direction
 isn't really enough for me to recognize it as a sign-in/sign-out action.
 Other bugs have suggested doing away with the arrows entirely, and I
 wouldn't be against that.  but at the very least, I think that having the
 sign-in signal be green and the sign-out signal be red is intuitive enough
 to work (ie revert back to).

 I realize that this brings up accessibility issues with red-green color-
 blindness, and I'm not really sure how one would fix that issue.  The
 arrow shape helps, but I don't want to offer that as a solution since it's
 essentially the same problem that I'm complaining about now.
