Make Emoticons bigger in chat

[Soupy Doorman]

What am I paying for emoticons where you can't even see what they are meant to be in chat.

What are these? Emoticons for ANTS!?

[rawWwRrr]

they're emotes. like emojis. they aren't meant to be huge. they are a bit bigger when used by themselves, but in a string of text they keep the same size of the text.

Make em bigger no thanks.

If Valve provide and option so we can disable or set a max size for them. Then I won't object as I'd just select they were smaller anyway.

But if it's a face with an emotion on it, what's the point if you can't see what that emotion is?



See on the forum it brings up the full size pic if you hover over it, but not in chat.

We worked fine using :) ;/ :D ;F for years. Plus if we really need to see a larger image to know we can just hover of it.

Use a new phone of an unfamiliar brand or IM application and get sent emojis. You'll see new faces but have no idea what they mean without checking. Being the size of a house wouldn't clarify some of them. Once you know what they mean you can tell the difference from the small versions.

Why not simply have an option in the chat client for 'Full, Medium or Small' emoticons. Or even just a zoom option.

Which is what I said in my first post and the post you quoted. Paraphased. Disable custom size or set a max, i.e small, medium, large.

Didn't know that. Shows how often I bother trying to find out what they all mean. I know plenty that don't know, both for Steam and phones, IM apps that just select them on a feeling of what they think they mean. Not always to a good result ha.

Then you agree we should have options... because options... are good.

Stickers are basically big emoticons

As well as posting emoticons without text makes them appear bigger

No thanks, they work just fine at their current size and can be made bigger by hovering over them if you want to see them more.

It's already possible to have them bigger, you need to use link instead of using them directly.

For example:



if you have this emoticon, use this in chat:

thanks for the info, seems a little cumbersome for general use though.

That has nothing to do with what I said, I said they are fine at their size they are used at, not if they show a different picture or whatever that is. Everything will have problems sooner or later....

"can be made bigger by hovering over them"
On the desktop version of CHAT when you hover over them it comes out the same size.

You say there is no problem, I'm saying there is How will a problem be fixed if people won't accept there is a problem.

Definitely need an option for that. I can't see s#!t on those emotes and profile icons. What's the point of buying them if they are practically useless?
But I would not expect Valve to listen. All those big companies are long deaf to their customers requests and know better about everything. Giving people choice is not in trends these days. These days we are told what we should feel and how we should think. So, yeah...
