Restore Gems, Rings, and Necklaces to Pre-1.2 Sizes

Mortianna

While I really enjoy most of the changes to the inventory icon sizes--such as weapons, armor, shields, and wands--I think the recent size reduction for (magical/non-magical) gems, rings, and necklaces detracts from their visual appeal and leaves too much empty space in the inventory slot. For example, before the v1.2 changes, I could see the detail in a Laeral's Tear necklace or Bloodstone gem, but now they're too small to make out any of their features.

I'm also curious as to why the Fire Agate, Lynx Eye, and Sunstone gem icon sizes were the only ones that weren't altered.

Please restore the jewelry and gems to their original sizes--they were prettier that way! ^.^

Please, do, I would like this to be changed too!

I thought the differences were obvious, no?

Since I can't go back to v1 and provide examples of the former sizes, here are some links to Mike's RPG Center with images of the original sizes:

@Eudaemonia It's the Circlet of the Archmagi -- one of 4 circlets that are in the game files, but were never incorporated into the game (like several other items). It provides +1 to INT, AC, and saves. @Pecca created a mod that will allow you to install it, along with the Wizard Staff, "Narbucchad's Demise": https://forum.baldursgate.com/discussion/18108/item-mod-more-style-for-mages-ranged-wizard-s-staffs-circlets-robe-visual-tweaks-weidu-released/p1

I'm not overly bothered by this, but changing it back for jewellery would be nice given the loss of detail that seems to occur n the more zoomed pictures.

Also do I have a sister?

You should know if you have a sister....

@Eudaemonium When I first saw @Eudaemonia 's post, I wondered if you had changed your profile portrait. Imagine the hilarity if s/he had an Edwina portrait...
