+=== How to customize this example ===
+
+ * Download the example
+ * Unpack it into ~/.purple/themes
+ * Rename the folder to match your themes' name
+ * Open purple/status-icon/theme.xml, it should look like this:
+ * The IDs should be pretty self-explanatory. The i-prefix is for idle.
+ * The directory purple/status-icon contains the directories 11, 16, 22, 32, 48. They contain the icons in the according size. Pidgin chooses the right size automatically.
+ * Replace the icons, create an archive and you are done.
