[Kopete] Increasing user picture size

This is not all that important, however, I was wondering how i would go about increasing the user picture size for MSN accounts.

When I have a chat window open with a user, there picture appears very very small that it's difficult to make out. I have tried right-clicking on the bar and going to Icon Size-> Huge (48x48) but it's still very small (i'm guessing because its supposed to be for regular icons.

Is there any way of fixing this? Thanks

not unless you edit the source code. The tooltip will show the full sized image.

Previous versions of Kopete presented the picture in it's full size (96x96) and it was a little anoying because it created a lot of wasted space in the chat window. I think that is why it is small now.

Okay, i understand now. I never noticed before that the tooltip shows the full size, that's probably for the best anyhow.

Thanks for the quick responses.

But look at gaim how they have resolved the issue they put it at the bottom at the left of the typing box, so ther not much space taken by the picture..

why not make this an option like picture size -> 16*16 24*24 32*32 64*64 96*96 and the we could choose where we want it?
that will improve user experience :)

i must sayt this is the main reason why i use gaim .
