    Most of you are probably familiar with the head thumbnails when you click "Show Players" for one of the servers in the Server Status section.

    However, what you might not know is that occasionally, the heads are distorted.
    Look at the eyes on the images below, and see how the eyes aren't the same width on the icon, while they are in game.

    This is because the thumbnails are 18x18, when the head section of the skin file is 16x16.

    If they simply switched it to this:
    Code:
    <li id="status_[username]">
        <a class="avatar">
            <img width="16" height="16" alt="[username]" src="http://minotar.net/avatar/[username]/16.png">
        </a>
    </li>
    
    It would be fixed.

    I know it's a really nit picky thing, but it would improve the look of the website.

    Like, it's not nessissary for this, but it would also be nice on the other hand. Neutral.

    I never said it was necessary, but it would improve the overall UX.

    as you said to me - it's a very nitpicky thing skizz :p
    but at the same time i can understand your concern, for skins which are extremely similar it would be easier if the faces were to scale to be able to distinguish them
    furthermore, while i dont know much about HTML; i cant imagine it'd be hard to transfer from 18*18 to 16*16
    however; 18*18 may be intentional by cyp to make it easier to see
    even so; maybe it could be implemented so that if you click on a face it enlarges it to 32*32? or something :p

    it is not hard to change it, compare the code section of the original post to the screenshot of inspect element. all he would do is change the 18s to 16s.

    you can see the difference in size, but it is subtle.
    and that clicking thing is a good idea.

    Flaming_LN2 the size really isn't that much harder to see.

    it doesn't annoy you that the skins are disproportional?
