    .e-avatar {

    }

    .e-avatar.green {
        background-color: #87eb87;
    }

    .e-avatar.violet {
        background-color: #ee82ee;
    }

    .e-avatar.blue {
        background-color: #7171e4;
    }

    .e-avatar.red {

    }

    .e-avatar.rose {
        background-color: #bc8f8f;
    }
</style>

Customize avatar sizes

Even though the avatar comes with five predefined sizes, sometimes it’s not enough. So, the avatar is designed in such a way that the width and height will be relative to font-size. By changing the font-size of the avatar element, you can change the width and height automatically.
