[Psi-devel] Avatar Size

[Maxime]

One thing is sure for me : It's important to allow changing the default
avatar size. For the people who are in 1600*1200 maybe they want to change
this small size. And for me, at 1024*768, 32*32 is too small... 64*64 is
greater.

Now, I think it could be cool to change the size only for some chat dialog
but not nescessary save it by jid etc... It's easy to add, and take only one
line more in the actual context menu.
And add for some people like me an fonctionnality that I like. Because I
don't wan't only a "recognizable" avatar but a beautiful one.

IMO, in a nutshell (I use some english expression from my english teacher
:P), this function brings some features that some people can appreciate and
doesn't gene (disturb ?) those who don't need it.
