Title: Ugly account icon
Post by: FredB on April 01, 2015, 04:57:31 pm

I know, its not very important, but I would like to know how to change the ugly icon for my account; if it's possible.
The actual icon looks like I'm not a happy Arturia customer, but with a Keylab 88 and V Collection 4, I am  :)

Hi Fred,

We use Gravatar for this, so you can change the icon to pretty much whatever you like! You can find more information at https://en.gravatar.com/

Bonjour Simon,

Thank you for your answer.
I'm talking about the icon on my Arturia account, not on the forum.
It look like this: (http://www.essania.net/Files/Arturia_Icon.png)
And I don't see where to change it.
And why did Arturia choose such an ugly thing  ;D

Thanks.

Yep, as he said, that's a Gravatar (http://en.gravatar.com/) avatar.

Thank you for your answer CC4.

So I have to give my info to a site I don't know to change an icon... ::)
I guess I'll stick with this ugly one.

As far as the Arturia website goes, I don't think anyone else sees your Gravatar icon.

The idea behind Gravatar is that it's supposed to a "globally recognized avatar" especially with WordPress based sites.  So if you created a Gravatar icon, you could start seeing it pop up on any other websites where you may make a public comment or whatever.
