It is not perfect because for some reason the avatar wants some more space.
Haven't figured out how a more exact layout should be made. Hard.
Anyway, I think it is OK to have the avatar larger than the other.
In any case the size of mood and activity icons is now set via
variable, which can be made into config() instead.
