the way the smilies are laid out is much better, and its a small button in the text field as opposed to wasting 20 pixels on a space below the text field. the input field is only one line, but resizes itself onthe fly if youhave more text written. also, you can use ichat enhancer to add additional lines, but i actually disabled that because it just isn't necessary. the main ichat window provides for multiple pictures now, and if you click on your name, it shows your account name. i think things in general are much better and eventually you will want to use the av features. they're just incredible.

I'm finding that with iChat AV the text box does indeed have the capability to show more than one line at once.  It always jumps back to one line when you send an IM, but if you start typing and type more than a full line, the box expands elastically.

Nothing that looks terribly good...

Now if only they'd include an option to get rid of those ass-ugly and creepy smilies. (Despite there being a hack out there, they should have the option to turn them off built-in).

Sadly, AOL has done a better job of an instant messaging client than Apple has (at least for AIM functionality anyway).

can you drag and drop a new buddy from the iChat box to the buddy list? now i end up having to type in the name.
