I'm trying to make it so that players can preview their icon with the aura/sparks they choose. However since the Aura and Sparks icon is over 32x32, when it is displayed in the preview its cut down to 32x32. How do I make it so that it previews correctly?

        Settings()
            set category = "Miscellaneous"
            var/list/SS = list()
            SS += "Ora"
            if((/mob/Movement/verb/Kyusokunaken in pskills) && (KyusoM == KyusoC))
                SS += "Kyusokunaken"

            var/n = input("What skill setting would you like to edit?") in SS
            switch(n)
                if("Ora")
                    var/mob/m = new
                    m.icon = icon
                    m.icon_state = ""
                    m.Overlays = Overlays
                    m.Overlays()
                    m.overlays += auraicon
                    m.overlays += sparkicon
                    winset(src, "Aura Settings.Preview", "cells = 0x0")
                    src<<output(m, "Aura Settings.Preview:1,1")
                    winshow(src,"Aura Settings",1)

Grids can't display icons larger than world.icon_size, so you might just use a Map control and use a screen object for displaying preview icons.

Thanks, that worked. I created a map called "Preview" and then sent the new mob for the player to view to it.
