Problem Description
Currently the user list on the right does not look very nice. It only shows names, rather than the familiar faces of your friends and collegues.
Proposed Solution
It would be great for an organization to be able to set the user list on the right side to show avatars by default. I would suggest something like a round 48 pixel avatar.
Describe alternatives you've considered
It could be an option that every user has to enable by themselves, but that would make it more of a hurdle for people switching over from something like Discord.

@JulianGro I transferred this and several other of your new issues to the zulip/zulip repository, since the code in question is part of the webapp (shared with the desktop app).
The main challenge with this is that it wastes space; we should make it an option since what one wants likely depends on the size of the organization.

Hello @zulip/server-sidebars members, this issue was labeled with the "area: right-sidebar" label, so you may want to check it out!

This is also a feature that can take advantage of wide screens. Although part of the problem is actually the vertical height of the avatar. If we keep the current line height, you might barely be able to see the person.
