Can I change the size of the displayed Avatars when using the module for EasySocial Users?

I would like to increase the size. I have the icons at http://starch-smart.com to be larger. :-)

Thank you, Sean Carney

Sean, I am just starting to dabble with Firebug so that I can better understand things that go on in extensions and templates etc. From a quick inspection in the Stream I can see the following:

body div#fd.es .es-avatar.es-avatar-small img {
height: 30px;
width: 30px;
}


This is in stye.min.css:1 in the Frosty theme for EasySocial But I am sure the best thing to do is to create a template override for changing the size of your avatars. If the StackIdeas team adds the code and where to change it I can then do it and create a Lesson Guide.

I am determined to learn how to use Firebug so I can inspect things and make changes to my site. Once I learn how to do it properly I will create a Video Lesson Guide to show others.

Keep in mind that the avatar maximum size is 180px. You can make it wider, but by that point you will be stretching the image. Perhaps in future versions of ES you can have bigger sizes if the image size generation can be changed by the admin.

Yes, thank you everyone. I hope that in the future the size of the Avatar to display might become a module preference. :-) In the meantime I will use the size that appears to be the default setting.
