Hi I just got a new surface pro 2017 and put Classic shell on it. But the user picture is very tiny. How to make it larger?

the picture size is defined in the skin, you can edit the .skin file with reshacker, or use a different skin (many of the ones in the skins section here feature larger pictures

Okay then increase it for all the skins. Do you not see that it is too small for high resolution?

the viewable size is a user- preference.. just because I agree with you (also Im not the developer, IVO is) doesn't mean everyone does, and we cant just go around changing the defaults for hundreds of thousands of users..
If you have a specific skin that you want the size increased, someone on the forum can likely make that change for you, if you dont feel comfortable trying to do it yourself.., just give us the skin name..
alternatively, something like a 'user picture size' option could potentially be included in classic shells settings, but it is likely to cause issue with certain custom skins (that have the size/location of the user-picture locked in) but atleast the user would have the choice not to enable it that way.

@Jerome, Yes I know the picture in some of the skins (almost all custom skins) is smaller for higher DPI monitors, but the problem is that the user frame around the pic needs to be updated in the skin as well as its position etc.
