iChat Tweaks
If you've done nothing but chat in iChat, you haven't even scratched the surface. The iChat→Preferences dialog box gives you plenty of additional control. A few examples:
General pane. If you turn on Show status in menu bar, you bring the iChat menulet to your menu bar. It lets you change your iChat status (Available, Away, and so on), whether you're in iChat or not.
And if you turn off When I quit iChat, set my status to Offline, then quitting iChat doesn't actually log you out. When someone wants a chat with you, iChat opens automatically.
The General pane is also where you tell iChat what to do when you're temporarily away from the Mac. You can have it automatically reply to chat invitations with your personalized "I'm not here" message. When you come back to the Mac or wake it up from sleep, you can have iChat flip your status from Away to Available all by itself.
Accounts pane. If you have more than one AIM, Jabber, or .Mac account, you can switch among them here. Your passwords are conveniently saved in your Mac OS X Keychain.
Messages pane. The Messages preference panel lets you design your chat windows— the background color, word balloon color, and typeface and size of text you type.
