Describe the feature you'd like
I would really appreciate to have either a default size for thumbnails in the list view. Optional a setting to increase the default size in the application settings. At the moment the size is dependant on whether a Book/Shelf has a description or not.

While most of my books have a description, my shelves do not and I would prefer a bigger thumbnail for them without giving them a description.

Describe the benefits this feature would bring to BookStack users
A consitent look and feel on the application. The option to customize (increase) the size would be nice for websites with a focus on creative output.

In my opinion, it would also be extremely useful to have the thumbnail in the tile view and the list view be the same aspect ratio so that no cropping has to happen. Does not have to be the same size, only aspect ratio. Would add to the "consistent look and feel" that @Bolthier mentioned.

Thanks @Bolthier for the original request, and thanks @nmehlei, for the extra input, but I'm going to close this off since there's been little other desire for this over the years.

I'd imagine it should be possible to achive a fixed size/ration with some inventive custom CSS applied.
