Pidgin Question on Ubuntu 8.04

[Ashish Vijaywargiya]

Hello,

I am using Pidgin 2.5.4 with Ubuntu 8.04.
Everything is working fine but on each new message it shows Yellow
Smiley Icon in the Gnome Panel and I am finding myself difficult to
see that.
Although in the Pidin 2.4.1 it was displaying Orange color in the
Gnome Panel and that's what I liked most.

Can I do the same thing in the Pidgin 2.5.4 version ?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
