Star not Subtle enough

Hello all, I like the idea of this yearly star but find it too in your face and not subtle enough especially when you open up a topic and see all the stars down the right side of all the posts in the various profiles, if the star could be more fitting with the prosilver theme and less in your face it would be ideal 8-) Yes you have kindly supplied ways to edit the star image but images are the type of thing I struggle with.
Thanks

It isn't an image per se, it is generated by font awesome.

Hi,
Yep, I liked the older annual stars ext. ( https://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/exte ... alstars31/ ) better, which displayed one star per year. I reduced the size of their original star by more than half and after that it looked great and subtle.
Any chance to re-introduce that design, please?

Thank you

I wish I could on phpBB 3.3 :)

No offense meant though, Rich. The more as I use most of your fantastic extensions.

But once I reduced the star size of the old 3.1.Ext to 7x7px, it looked really great and even my 18 annual stars fitted in one single line on a "normal" PC screen.
You might reconsider a similar approach, as it just looks so much better than numbers in a star, imho.

Thanks

I can't please everyone, those who have been using the extension wished for less icons to show. You are free to take the code and modify it to suit your needs.
