New Features: January 2009 Archives

Recently Plurk made changes to their User Interface by enlarging several of the graphic elements within the dashboard area. This startled several members who immediately began looking for a way to resize the image to something slightly more manageable. During the incurring scramble to find a solution many users came up with creative ways of fixing the code. Thanks goes out to Plurk Layouts and Olivia Bell for first documenting the friends/fans elements so that a solution could be created. The first change was to the user's avatar image which increased in size by nearly 3 times. The second graphical change was in the Friends and Fans section. The user icons in those sections likewise received a size boost going from 25 pixels to 40 pixels. Users again were up in arms as the larger icons took up screen real estate. This tutorial has been written to provide you with the code necessary to change both of these image sizes as well as to center the icons within the Friends and Fans section.
