big-avatar-gnome-shell-extension's Issues

Picture size issue

Dear Gustavo,
Nice extension. Before installing, I was not aware that I need that (ala iphone :)).
But I am facing one issue. If I shrink the picture size (from default 144), its no more circular, just cropped in y direction, while in x direction, its still default.

May I request you to apply the radius in both side, or control the x-y value separately?

Gnome 43

HI!

Main.panel.statusArea.aggregateMenu is undefined

gnome 41

Extension is outdated for gnome-shell 41.

Waiting for update, thanks for your work.
