Enfold – Latest news – image thumb

Hi,

I have an issue displaying the latest news widget properly. The layout is fine, I customized it by inserting the code below in my child theme functions.php. But the image thumb looks pixellated as the code seems to force the thumbnail to have a size of 36 x 36 px, while I want it to display at a size of 80 x 80 px (print screen and link in private). Could you please help me on this?

Many thanks,
Catherine
