The iconset is nice but it has a fatal flaw -- the icons and animations are 
far too similar.

blue square with a light center = online
blue square with a dark center = away
turquoise square = offline (guess)

Far far far far too similar and meaningless.  The animations also are too 
"small" to be of much use...  I dunno this is where I bring out my old 
favourite again to show how the larger icon has more meaning -- bright yellow 
star = online and available, gray but with a note = not available but with a 
message, dark star = offline

Stellar's animations don't mean anything either (dancing star and rocket 
taking off) but they are large and unmistakable...  your iconset's animations 
are in comparison quite small and easily mistaken for one another.

This isn't a jab at you -- your icons are already far and above anything I 
personally could do and I have a great deal of respect and even envy for 
those of you who have the talent to make these things in the first place -- 
I'm rather critiquing them in the sense of why or why I would not use them.
