Making avatars round by default
Just because that is the trend, why don't we use rounded avatars by default ? Only a matter of using border-radius: 100px; or something.

Giving a higher radius solves that, right ? I tried like 160px which worked well. Also Elk resizes avatar to 125 x 125

No, ... If you really want to use a radius use a percent, border-radius: 50% ...
But you can't turn a rectangular avatar into a circle with just radius. You will need to define a WxH square background, apply 50% radius and then use object-fit of either cover or contain with the avatar (cover/contain depends on if its square or not already). That will have the lowest chance of not cutting off peoples foreheads or other strange cropping of faces.
At least thats what I did on the Storm Cloud theme that I posted somewhere (plus that has some JS since pale moon did not support object fit properly)

Should we give it as default ( considering the trend ) ?
