As promised, I wanted to post a screenshot of the current look/feel of this plugin. I am looking to get feedback since this is the first plugin/skin that I am writing. Once I finalize the skin I will post a working screenshot with an alpha release shortly afterwards.

Here is a brief description of what I plan to add into the plugin by it's offical 1.0 release. (I will be releasing builds before that time):

Top bar
-----------

Empty left area - Display current status of connection to AIM server
Disk icon - Save current messages to file (XML Format?)
Eye icon - Set Away Status
Circular arrow icon - Initiate a file transfer with the buddy you are chatting with in the current conversation

Default Centrafuse Full Screen Icon
Default Centrafuse Close Application Icon

Main Area
-----------

Thin bar - Current buddy you are chatting with
Big box - Message text
Left/Right Arrows - Scroll through current conversations
Up/Down Arrows - Scroll through messages for current conversation

Side Bar
-----------

Black Square - Display buddy icon for the buddy you are chatting with in the current conversation
Keyboard icon - Send message within current conversation
AIM buddy icon - Display buddy list and provide button to start new conversation
