Feat:Add hover feedback when selecting avatar in onboarding screen #861

Description

@varsharaodevaraj

Describe the feature

Problem

On the onboarding screen (Step 2), users choose an avatar.

Right now, the avatars do not provide any hover feedback.
Because of this, it isn’t visually clear that they are clickable — especially for new users.

Improving the hover state will make selection more intuitive and interactive.


Proposed Enhancement

Add hover feedback on avatar cards:

  • Slight scale-up animation on hover
  • Soft glow / ring highlight
  • Smooth transition (150–200ms)
  • Cursor changes to pointer

This should only affect hover behavior (click selection styling should remain as-is).


Why this is useful

  • Improves UX clarity
  • Makes onboarding feel polished and responsive
  • Matches modern UI interaction patterns
  • Helps users immediately understand avatars are selectable

Implementation Notes (optional)

Component likely involved:

frontend/src/components/onboarding/AvatarPicker.tsx (or nearby UI code)

Can be implemented with simple Tailwind or CSS animations — no functional changes required.

Add ScreenShots

Before: No hover effect — looks static
After: Hover glow + scale makes interaction clear
