Because you're actually required to click away from your f-list to look at that person's new layout. Still, I'm making one.
So, I've got the 'drool' icon showing
John Abraham? I used it for a comment on the Morningstar Manor OOC comm, to
admire blinking Elspeth. Then Sal made a version with a tiny but very funny variation, and I ganked that for my mun journal.
Then I decided I wanted a layout where I could see my own icons with each post, and found myself a nice S2 one - good bye Bollywood colours! Then I adapted the colours of that layout - not to make it more Bollywoody, just to allow the 'drool' icon to mesh with the background more. And to add purple, of course.
And then I had to go and adapt three of my older icons so they'd work with that layout...
