Buddy Status is a minimalistic widget that exhibits the name of a designated iChat buddy on the Dashboard interface.
This handy tool displays the name of your iChat buddy list in a color-coded format, signalling their current status. With a single key press, you have immediate access to your buddy's recently updated status. And with the ability to have multiple Buddy Status widgets on your Dashboard, you can track as many buddies as you need in one centralized location.
And if you need to instantly message a buddy, clicking on their name will open an iChat IM window to them, provided they are online. You can also hover over their name, and a tool-tip will reveal their current status message.
So if you're looking for a simple yet effective way to keep an eye on your iChat friends, download Buddy Status today. The latest version includes an updated feature where you can now quickly view a buddy's status message by hovering over their name.
