Do not use just "a" button, if you can do better.  Offer choices such as
(but better name,) Vast, Big, Ordinary, Small, Tiny, Auto-Detect
(default).  That way, those for whom it works can use the default, and
those for whom it does not have choices available, and if they can do no
better they can revert to default.  Consider whether it is wide to make
the choice sticky, so that it holds between successive visits.
