Make steam emoticons bigger
With some of the more detailed one's it is hard to see what they are expressing. IE :fmad::fsad: both look the same except for their ear position. When, in fact, one is mad and the other is sad.

true they need to be bigger, otherwise there barely noticable
emoticon height = line height.

That's how it supposed to be, or it will screw typographics.

Icons for some games are just bad and low contrast.

And what would be wrong with increasing the size of text? I already do it myself, it wouldn't be that hard.
Text is more important than icons.

Let me repeat myself, What would be wrong with increasing the size of the text Its already small, so why not.
Because it's already ideal size.

I thought that as well.
Unfortunately it doesn't work that way.
I just tried manually changing the font size for friend chat in steam.
The emoticons stayed the same size. They're stuck at that size.

i agree, emoticons should be bigger :gaper:
hhnnnngngngnnn, img tags are not affected by font size property. Not in CSS3

They can easily make a higher resolution/larger emoticon size optional, which would quickly put the problem to rest. With the sheer number of icons that are going to come out/are already out and at the small resolution they're at, there's only so much you can do to make a practical (and thereby simple) set of emoticons differentiable from the rest.

Those statements are a matter of opinion--impertinent ones fabricated to forward an already counterproductive argument.

So to the matter at hand, I previously opened my emoticon list and saw :postcardb:, which I had neither realized I had nor seen before. I wasn't able to tell what it was until I moused over it. And before anyone tries to accuse me of this, my hardware doesn't suck, my eyes are fine, I'm not stupid, I'm not intoxicated, and I don't need to get a better computer.
