Description

HdyAvatar is a widget to display a round avatar. A provided image is made round before displaying, if no image is given this widget generates a round fallback with the initials of the “text” on top of a colord background. The color is picked based on the hash of the “text”. If “show-initials” is set to FALSE, avatar-default-symbolic is shown in place of the initials. Use hdy_avatar_set_image_load_func() to set a custom image. Create a HdyAvatarImageLoadFunc similar to this example:
