160x160.. that is not workable. That is three times bigger than a desktop icon.
Avatar's are small, though not such a problem for us we are a business after all, 80x80 would be the largest I think.

80X80 is much better than 40. What about the company logo's? Can the size of those be increased? It's especially a problem with logos that are much much wider than taller. When you squeeze something down that small it's almost illegible.

Not sure but it would seem that it's a Theme issue, which can simply be adressed with proper CSS. Might be wrong, but I recall reading ac 1.0 admin is themable, maybe even has a template engine. This would mean you can tweak it to your liking :) Unless there is some auto resizing in which case you have to locate the parameters in the app's code and change them :P
This being said, global setting would be easier, sure...

40x40 let users be visually recognized and still allows us to have a clean and simple interface. Making avatars / logos / project icons larger can make some screens far less usable without providing any real value.

I agree with you but am I wrong thinking anything can be done by creating one's own theme anyway ?
Some people might need to tweak other items and theme them (a company theme is most likely in my case)...

If you really, really need other avatar sizes, you can 'hack' activecollab.
You need to edit /application/modules/system/controllers/UserProfileController.class.php go to declaration of function edit_avatar()
and modify this lines as you want
$to = $this->active_user->getAvatarPath();
$small = scale_image($from, $to, 16, 16, IMAGETYPE_JPEG);
$to = $this->active_user->getAvatarPath(true);
$large = scale_image($from, $to, 40, 40, IMAGETYPE_JPEG);
You will need to modify theme to support those modified avatars.
