Remove the 32x32 avatar icon edge shadowing.

[You Schmuck!]

With avatars already being very much on the tiny side. Can we get the edge shadowing on the smallest 32x32 variant which is shown in games/discussions and the Steam Client removed so it shows the pure avatar instead please?

Example in my avatar. The edge shadowing dampens the image clarity vs applying no filters whatsoever on top of it.

It's only a tiny change but would be a nice QoL improvement for the smallest avatar variant.

Thanks for reading.

Do you mean the actual quality of the avatar is belong lowered when you upload? If so, that is probably intended on Valve's end so people are not uploading massive MB sized HD images that will quickly fill up server space.

Nah, if you look at my avatar in the corner of this post, you'll see slight edge shadowing, like a drop shadow. I mean removing that. It only appears on the 32x32 avatar, not the 64x64 when you hover over my avatar, or the 184x184 main image on my profile.

The 32x32 already being tiny as it is, it takes up extra screen real estate.

Oh I see what you mean, mine has a lot of black so I won't see it on mine.

It doesn't seem that much of a problem to be honest. The black shading is probably there to with Steam's style "black / blue colour shades", it used to be black / grey.
