Now the StatusView (bottom-left corner, right below the room list) can
be used to set the nickname and status not only for all accounts at
once, but for managing the status/nick of individual accounts.
AccountManager now can set details of a single account, too.
MainWindow is no longer an Observer (as it just passed the information
along to StatusView― now StatusView manages that itself).
NicknameTextControl was removed, not being in use.
Now all account menus will have the pretty protocol icons to go with
them. :)
The icons are scaled to text-size so that they might be displayed in a
corresponding MenuButton, or maybe BMenuField at some point, and put
into the ImageCache.
The menu items do not have ownership of the bitmaps.
StatusView now allows the selecting of accounts through a MenuButton
with BitmapMenuItems― the button for selecting an account is nice and
discrete, just showing the bitmap of a protocol (in leiu of a label).
No functional changes, other than this menu.
I tried making all AccountsMenus use BitmapMenuItems, but that gets
unweildy pretty quickly― for now they remain in this menu. Maybe
optional ownership of bitmaps in BitmapMenuItems and caching of protocol
items would help.

If a room doesn't have a set icon (and it isn't a one-on-one chat, for
which the icon'll come from the other user's avatar), the default icon
is now determined based on user count.
If there's X users, an icon with X people will be displayed, up to four.
After that, a "+" is overlayed on the icon.
Not really necessary… but I think it's cute. :-)
If the user has permission to change a room's subject or name, they can
now edit the text views displaying them (toward the top of the window).
When enter is pressed, the changes will be sent to the protocol.
To do this, a BTextView subclass was added to libinterface
(splitting somewhat from SendTextView)― EnterTextView sends a message
containing the text to the given target when the user hits enter sans
modifiers.
Windows using RosterView (like for the invitiation/new chat dialogues)
have a search-box for filtering between contacts. This allows the user
to type a user ID into this search-box that isn't a contact's ID, which
can then be selected as the user.
This makes common operations (inviting a user/adding a new contact)
a little easier.
For one-on-one chats without a custom icon, the other user's avatar will
be used as the chat's icon.
A default chat icon was also added
(haiku/data/artwork/icons/WebsiteComments).
