(I'm not having a good day)

Machine 1:  
Ubuntu  
NUC  
NR 2.1.4  
Dashboard 2.28.1  
LED 0.4.9

Machine 2:  
RasPi  
BUSTER  
NR 2.1.4  
Dashboard 2.26.2  
LED 0.4.8 (Ok there's one difference)

But here's what I'm seeing as size difference.

Machine 1:

Tiny winy LEDs.

Machine 2:

HUGE icons.

I'm not saying I want them all that big.

But wow....

I think I know what I'm about to be told.

Looking in _the library_ I don't know how to see past versions and what was done with updates.  
(I'm stupid. I admit it.)

Start by using the same versions of dashboard and led node, in case that is the difference.

There was a bug with the sizing in v0.4.8, which I reported back then here:

With the newer versions, you can select between circle and square shaped LEDs.

I use them a lot on my current dashboards and haven't had any problems with the recent versions, so I _think_ it's safe to update them.
