@Gor0n: I was thinking about this, but didn't expect anyone to want it. Give me two seconds and I'll whip something up.
Edit: Iconless version added. For current version check the first post.
I'll probably update this soon to close the gap between initial and consecutive messages.

@Gor0n: Wow, thanks, man.
@zoot: Yeah, I realise it's too big for how (probably most) people use Adium, but I've recently moved to using a wider, larger window on my laptop after realising there's no reason for keeping the window so small.
So the intention was to maximise legibility and go for convenience, while trying to maintain some style.
If I get enough requests, I might work up a smaller version.

Great theme, but definitely needs a smaller version. My buddy icons are all pixelated from being enlarged.

Very cool style. I wouldn't mind having one about half as small though.

This. Even with the mini version, it is still very large. I find it nauseating to read messages with it. Can you make a "SuperMini" version? xD
You did a beautiful job though. Its very clean and well thought out. The font size is my only gripe
Also, in response to your contact list, It looks great with the message style. However, I still feel that it too is much too large. I don't think it would be practical for some of us to have a buddy list that took up that much space.

Re: [Adium] Bloc + Bloc Mini + Bloc Supermini
Believe it or not, Hazard, but I've had a version called exactly that (Bloc Supermini) sat on my desktop for the last few hours! 
It's proving a little more tricky, and I'm tired, so I'll do some more work on this tomorrow and hopefully be able to release a version then.
I'm off for the night. Please don't hesitate to post suggestions and whatnot, guys.
Night.

Re: [Adium] Bloc + Bloc Mini + Bloc Supermini
I'm personally a huge fan of the large type, and am using both the clist and the message style. Thanks for these, dr.vox - been looking for something to fit my esoteric needs for ages!!
