Google Talk team recently added the ability to create Google Talk chatback badges in several new styles. These options are available by clicking on the "Styles" drop down menu when creating a chatback badge. Examples of the new types of formats can be seen on the picture above.

The two borderless versions of the badge make it easier to fit into your page and customize the appearance as you like. You can just paste the code where you want the link to appear. If you want to further tweak the appearance, you can add some style parameters: Add fontfamily and fontsize to choose a specific font or size, and textcolor and linkcolor to set the colors using a hexadecimal RRGGBB value.
