Make your own icons.

Just open whatever paint program you have (adobe, mspaint, paint shop, etc.) and set it for 48 X 48 Pixels and once you're done drawing, save it as a .gif image. And go to AIM options and select it as your avatar.

If you want you can make about 5 .gif images and make them animated using Adobe Elements 2.0 or any other software that supports .gif animation. And you have a moving avatar!!! Amazing.

why 48 by 48? the max is 50 x 50! what is the point of 4 pixels?
