Menu
I've got a bot that sends long messages. When it sends multiple messages, the user icon often scrolls off the screen because no-one has sent a message between the bot's messages.
This means that it's less obvious when the message was sent and by whom. Is there any way to force Slack to display the user icon for every message?

From your desktop, click your profile picture in the top right. Choose Preferences from the menu. Click Accessibility. Under Zoom, select your zoom level.
Green = Active; Hollow = Away; Circle = Regular User; Triangle = Single Channel Guest.
As far as I know, Slack for OSX does not support customization of fonts or colors in the message area. You may make the font larger or smaller via the standard <Cmd>+ and <Cmd>- keystrokes. You may, however, customize the sidebar portion of Slack, on a per-team basis.
I found a way to do this by changing the name of the message sender to include some extraneous spaces. They seem to be considering messages from the same name to always have the same icon, but there are valid use cases for changing the icon on the fly with each message.
