Does Fire support Custom Buddy Icons (like AIM)?

Fire does support limited buddy icons for AIM users. In the current version, Fire will receive and display custom buddy icons from your AIM buddies. You can also set your icon in the Profile pref. At this time, Fire does not have a user interface for assigning an icon to a particular buddy. That feature is being considered for inclusion in a future release of Fire. To enable this behavior, you must be using the “Oscar” version of AIM. This can be selected by going into the Fire Preferences and selecting the Services Pane. There you will be able to switch between the Oscar and TOC versions of AIM. Just select AIM-Oscar to get support for Buddy Icons.
