# `Avatar`

A widget displaying an image, with a generated fallback.

<picture><source srcset="avatar-dark.png" media="(prefers-color-scheme: dark)"><img src="avatar.png" alt="avatar"></picture>

`AdwAvatar` is a widget that shows a round avatar.

`AdwAvatar` generates an avatar with the initials of  the
[property@Avatar:text] on top of a colored background.

The color is picked based on the hash of the [property@Avatar:text].

If [property@Avatar:show-initials] is set to `FALSE`,
[property@Avatar:icon-name] or `avatar-default-symbolic` is shown instead of
the initials.

Use [property@Avatar:custom-image] to set a custom image.
