See the attached screenshot - the default avatar blends into the standard background colour.

Jimmac - can you advise?

Just stroke the rectangle with #d3d7cf

default avatar box stroke
Comment 3 Jakub Steiner 2013-05-02 13:56:57 UTC 
On a second though though, maybe we just want to drop the gradient and really keep that watermark with no stroke?
Comment 4 Allan Day 2013-05-02 16:13:30 UTC 
I'm tempted to say that we should ditch the gradient. With the stroke it looks a little bit like a pressed button.
Comment 5 Allan Day 2013-08-14 09:18:28 UTC 
Either way, I think that the stroke is good. Otherwise the avatar will be floating in space.

This is my first solution to it. I think is the best btw, code wisely. The avatar is wrapped inside a Gtk+ frame, so I wouldn't want to color it different of the rest of the frames in the toolkit.
