OH MY GOD. The Font was oversized because I was using Google Chrome.
How embarrassing...
Apparently, the Font Element is affected by the type of Browser that you're using.
Actually, it was oversized because you were using a cached version of the stylesheet. In reality, it actually works perfectly in Chrome as well. CTRL + F5 a couple of times and you should see it fix itself in Chrome for you too.
As for the rounded corners, they definitely serve a purpose but that won't be entirely clear just yet. Suffice it to say, for now, that it helps give them an intentional appearance as an individual item instead of just a grid of images.
These changes aren't of "questionable convenience" - they make the site operate much more smoothly and also take a significant burden off of submitters. With the old system, everything had to be done correctly right from the get go. The font needed to be the right size and face, positioned in the right place, and on a correctly set up background. Now, all you have to do is crop an image and upload it. It means less mistakes for you and less unnecessary edits for us. This, among other benefits, were covered in the new icon announcement thread.
Pardon my Traditionalist Attitude. I've been gone from TSR for 3 Years and never knew about these changes until now.
Part of the reason for my dislike of this New System is that the Old Style Game Icons that I had already made are, apparently, useless now.
