What happened when you tried? So far my only issue has been the top corners not rounding when set to rounded cards!

Well, any of the options I choose (triangles or mesh) and set a value from, but when I click in Done, the columns are always blankā¦
Sometimes it shows something but for secs and then disappears
@Deena your bug is in other inlines also

Bizarre! If I have an image in the āfromā field under configuration, it works well. By the way, why is this called an āAvatarā generator. Theyāre not avatars?! But better than empty image so I am using!

I realized your column automaticaly shows like a blue icon (like a user-specific column) but, in my case keep the same colorā¦
Oh, but wait @Lucas_Pires, you have nothing in the āfromā field. Unfortunately if you generate avatar from custom source or NO source - all avatars are THE SAME which doesnāt make sense to me and is useless (for me anyway). In my case, I have images, and use the avatar to REPLACE them if a person wants to be anonymous.
The āFromā is just a seed value to generate the image. I assume no seed value equals no image. Same if the seed value is the same for all rows, then the image will be the same. If you want all images to be the same color, then every row needs to have the same seed value (possibly a template column with the same text that shows on every row). Otherwise RowID is a good source for unique seed values on every row.

I understand all of that - just doesnāt make sense to me personally. No seed value isnāt no image - itās a brownish image. I want unique images when no source image exists. This isnāt an avatar generator - itās a āconverterā! 
āNomeā column is my userās Name columnā¦ so yes, I have

Nothing
It seems like dont recognize my columns or something like that
@Deena, maybe I donāt understand what you are saying. Itās not an image converter. It generates a random image based on a text valueā¦any text value. Thatās the seed value for the generator to make the image unique. Itās working for you because itās probably using the url as a seed value. Not the actual image. @Robert_Petitto does this with third party sites.
Like this one for example. http://avatars.adorable.io/
@Lucas_Pires Just a quick test for me shows it working quite differently in Staging vs Production, so maybe there is still a bug on the production side.

Ah, you are right Jeff - I REALLY did not think a text value could generate an image so I didnāt even try. This makes TOTAL sense now. Sorry for any confusion I caused!
Still, can this thing make a real avatar (like a person or animal etc) - am I missing something there too? haha

Wellā¦it is only a day old in production and maybe only a few days old in staging. Iām sure theyāll add more options to it in the future. Gotta start somewhere.
Thereās a lot of avatar generator out there that are more geometric graphics compared to images that look like people. Hereās another one. https://www.tinygraphs.com/

The feature is not called āAvatar Generator.ā Itās just āGenerated Image.ā
We want to add more types of generated images as well, so you can quickly get some eye candy in your app.
