Thank you for the response, I hadn’t seen that.
But, aaarghh!! I hate it.
The squareness was intrinsic to my avatar. Which means I’ll have to change it.

My two cents would be:
- Breathing room is only necessary (and the attractiveness of it is relative) in one or two circumstances, as in when one is viewing an entire page of avatars.
- Rounded is more human. But avatars aren’t always pictures of humans.
- Squaring the edges fits them in nicer with all the other square elements.
Can we use .PNGs with alpha, so we can choose our own shape?
