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!?

Nobody forces you to buy them.

But I agree with your suggestion. An option (slider) to set the size of the emoticons would be nice (Not only big, normal, small sizes. The slider would allow us to set an arbitrary scale). Maybe with the flexibility (and ability) to use a slider for each emoticon. So a different size (actually: scale) can be set for every emoticon.

I agree

Not to mention that the UI of this forum is not keeping up with times. 10 years ago i used forums more versatile than this one

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.

I agree. It would be nice to have the option to make them bigger, but they should at least make the hover preview larger on PC chat. When you hover over someone's profile icon, it makes it reasonably large enough to see in both the forum and the chat

the "picker" has loads of tiny icons and appart from th fact that Valve has still not worked out that their terrible tiny UI font is broken and renders l and I identically, I'm not holding out hope for acessibility.

Make the emoticon picker bigger please, the emoticons are fine it's the picker that sux!

I know the neckbeards are gonna start foaming at the mouth screaming "NECRO!!!" at me, but I completely agree with you

I feel like Steam emoticons have been made obsolete by the introduction of animated stickers, which sucks because there's lots of great emoticons. As for those expressing their personal aversion to them being made larger overall, would you not agree Soupy Doorman has a point in that the introduction of the OPTION to make them larger would be fair?

(P.S. I enjoyed the "for ANTS!?" addition to your post)
