Discord's new layout/design: Please fix the sidebar and user info box/allow resizing of server icons in the list

Hi folks!

The new Discord appearance is nice, but a design improvement can be made with the sidebar itself.

My perceived pain-points:

Server icons are now too small, often obscuring the images (which is rough if you've got custom icons made for your servers)
The user information box (unsure what this is called) looks more like an annoying pop-up that needs to be closed. Because of this, it's distracting to the eye since it's ‘floating’ without being properly docked or attached to any part of the sidebar
The floating nature of the information box mentioned above overlaps harshly with the server icons on the sidebar.

My suggestions:

Allow resizing of server icons (much like we can adjust font size and such) as a customization option for those of us who prefer larger icons.
Dock the user information box (screenshot attached for what I mean) somehow so that it doesn't appear to just be floating in the corner begging to be closed.
Have the server icons fade before they disappear under the information box, so there's not a harsh cut off or delineation.

Thank you so much for reviewing this, just in case! We appreciate all the hard work. Examples of my thoughts and solutions below!
