The top items will go dark and become active when the Buddy List is the Front window allowing you to Sort the List and whether Off-line Buddies will be included. the Sort options will work on a Double Pass. Use one of the alphabetical choices followed by the Available choice to get your List available by alphabetical.

You can choose to turn the Bubble Off by select Show as Text. You and your Buddies are then both on the left of the chat window with coloured bands the same colour as the Bubbles would be.

You can drop a picture in the white space that is the Chat window. The picture will only be seen at your end. Smaller pictures will be tiled depending how big you drag the window. If you don't like it or find it distracting (or plain missed where you were dragging a picture file to Send), there is a Clear Option. any choice made will stay and be remembered across openings of iChat.
