No new style but maybe some options....

I think the smiley icon is required for the status. We __need__ to know the 
status of the contact. So I think we should have :
Smiley | DisplayName | Photo

As aseigo said, a small margin around the photo would be good. Smaller photo 
sizes too, maybe (http://www.adiumx.com/images/contactlist/ss3.jpg), or the 
ability to choose this size.

Great Job !!
