I did a search before creating the topic but I don’t found any related topic.

I want to show the username of the user in the Message list besides its avatar, exists some way to do that?

Thank you,  
Angel

Nice! but I’m using a dockerized version (DigitalOcean), how can I “inject” this CSS in this case?

Thank you!

You simply add it in Admin \> Customize \> CSS/HTML, put it in the CSS section (and make sure you enable the customization)
