However, for the record, what I was saying is that having a fixed size and shaped for the user icon (RequiredHeight x RequiredWidth) is a bit too restrictive, IMHO.
It would be more flexible to enforce bounds (RequiredHeightMax x RequiredWidthMax) instead because it is unlikely that every source image is square.
For example, as it is now with the 60x60 fixed size requirement, I have to scale my image to fit that right. Well, suppose that one has a source image that is not square. Suppose it is a rectange, such as 196x79. In this case, one can scale down proportionally to 50x41 or 60x50 but if one tries to scale that rectangle down to 60x60 it cannot be done proportonally and the resulting image will be skewed. And so on.
Anyway, this is just a small point and I think I have wasted enough time.
Thank you.
