### Is Your Feature Request Related To A Problem? Please describe.
The icon of a package is displayed in the "tile view" but not in the "list view" of the package list. Human brain is sensitive to color and drawings. With just a flat list of packages, it makes is slightly more difficult for humans to find the package they are looking for.
### Describe The Solution. Why is it needed?
Improvement : add an additional column, before the name, which would contain the icon of the package. This will help humans to find a given package more quickly by looking for the icon and using the image recognition part of our brain, which is a super strong human capability.

Research direction
Start by locating the package list's list-view implementation and compare it with the existing tile-view icon rendering. Add an icon column before the package name, then verify that package icons appear in list view and remain usable when scanning for a package.
