feat: added conditional styles for chat focus mode

[allroundexperts]

Details

This PR changes alignItems from center to baseline on web. This causes the channel name and the channel text to have the exact same baseline despite the difference in line heights / font sizes between the two texts. On native apps, this involves removing the line height from alternating text.

Fixed Issues

$ #14148
PROPOSAL: #14148 (comment)

Tests

1. Open NewDot in web.
2. Set Priority mode to focus in preferences
3. Observe the chat list in the LHN
4. Channel name and chat text on LHN should have the exact same baseline.

Note: This should be teated on Web and Desktop only.

• Verify that no errors appear in the JS console

Offline tests

QA Steps

1. Open NewDot on Web
2. Set Priority mode to focus in preferences
3. Observe the chat list in the LHN
4. Channel name and chat text on LHN should have the exact same baseline.

Note that this should be tested on Web and Desktop only.

• Verify that no errors appear in the JS console

PR Author Checklist

• I linked the correct issue in the ### Fixed Issues section above
• I wrote clear testing steps that cover the changes made in this PR
  • I added steps for local testing in the Tests section
  • I added steps for the expected offline behavior in the Offline steps section
  • I added steps for Staging and/or Production testing in the QA steps section
  • I added steps to cover failure scenarios (i.e. verify an input displays the correct error message if the entered data is not correct)
  • I turned off my network connection and tested it while offline to ensure it matches the expected behavior (i.e. verify the default avatar icon is displayed if app is offline)
  • I tested this PR with a High Traffic account against the staging or production API to ensure there are no regressions (e.g. long loading states that impact usability).
• I included screenshots or videos for tests on all platforms
• I ran the tests on all platforms & verified they passed on:
  • Android / native
  • Android / Chrome
  • iOS / native
  • iOS / Safari
  • MacOS / Chrome / Safari
  • MacOS / Desktop
• I verified there are no console errors (if there's a console error not related to the PR, report it or open an issue for it to be fixed)
• I followed proper code patterns (see Reviewing the code)
  • I verified that any callback methods that were added or modified are named for what the method does and never what callback they handle (i.e. toggleReport and not onIconClick)
  • I verified that comments were added to code that is not self explanatory
  • I verified that any new or modified comments were clear, correct English, and explained "why" the code was doing something instead of only explaining "what" the code was doing.
  • I verified any copy / text shown in the product is localized by adding it to src/languages/* files and using the translation method
  • I verified all numbers, amounts, dates and phone numbers shown in the product are using the localization methods
  • I verified any copy / text that was added to the app is correct English and approved by marketing by adding the Waiting for Copy label for a copy review on the original GH to get the correct copy.
  • I verified proper file naming conventions were followed for any new files or renamed files. All non-platform specific files are named after what they export and are not named "index.js". All platform-specific files are named for the platform the code supports as outlined in the README.
  • I verified the JSDocs style guidelines (in STYLE.md) were followed
• If a new code pattern is added I verified it was agreed to be used by multiple Expensify engineers
• I followed the guidelines as stated in the Review Guidelines
• I tested other components that can be impacted by my changes (i.e. if the PR modifies a shared library or component like Avatar, I verified the components using Avatar are working as expected)
• I verified all code is DRY (the PR doesn't include any logic written more than once, with the exception of tests)
• I verified any variables that can be defined as constants (ie. in CONST.js or at the top of the file that uses the constant) are defined as such
• I verified that if a function's arguments changed that all usages have also been updated correctly
• If a new component is created I verified that:
  • A similar component doesn't exist in the codebase
  • All props are defined accurately and each prop has a /** comment above it */
  • The file is named correctly
  • The component has a clear name that is non-ambiguous and the purpose of the component can be inferred from the name alone
  • The only data being stored in the state is data necessary for rendering and nothing else
  • For Class Components, any internal methods passed to components event handlers are bound to this properly so there are no scoping issues (i.e. for onClick={this.submit} the method this.submit should be bound to this in the constructor)
  • Any internal methods bound to this are necessary to be bound (i.e. avoid this.submit = this.submit.bind(this); if this.submit is never passed to a component event handler like onClick)
  • All JSX used for rendering exists in the render method
  • The component has the minimum amount of code necessary for its purpose, and it is broken down into smaller components in order to separate concerns and functions
• If any new file was added I verified that:
  • The file has a description of what it does and/or why is needed at the top of the file if the code is not self explanatory
• If a new CSS style is added I verified that:
  • A similar style doesn't already exist
  • The style can't be created with an existing StyleUtils function (i.e. StyleUtils.getBackgroundAndBorderStyle(themeColors.componentBG)
• If the PR modifies a generic component, I tested and verified that those changes do not break usages of that component in the rest of the App (i.e. if a shared library or component like Avatar is modified, I verified that Avatar is working as expected in all cases)
• If the PR modifies a component related to any of the existing Storybook stories, I tested and verified all stories for that component are still working as expected.
• If a new page is added, I verified it's using the ScrollView component to make it scrollable when more elements are added to the page.
• I have checked off every checkbox in the PR author checklist, including those that don't apply to this PR.

Looks good, there is one small issue left
iOS and Android both have this issue, notice how the first item isn't aligned (is it due to the name being bold?)

@aneequeahmad Can you jump in here and explain the reason?

[allroundexperts]

@eVoloshchak I was reading the comments again and found out that we decided to ignore this small misalignment because its noticeable when zoomed only. #14148 (comment)

That part was about it being slightly (1px) misaligned on web, not on native platforms

@aneequeahmad, friendly bump on the above

[eVoloshchak]

Native platforms currently are only slightly misaligned, it seems like there is no way to have them perfectly align
@allroundexperts, let's fix this at least for web and desktop to keep this moving forward

@eVoloshchak The PR does include the fix for web. Do you want me to make any other change? Please let me know.

Just delete the .native part, leaving only the fix for web. It look better on native without the fiix

@eVoloshchak Removed the .native part.

This fixes the issue only on web/mWeb/Desktop, there seems to be no reliable fix for native

[aneequeahmad]

@eVoloshchak any changes required on this PR yet ?

[eVoloshchak]

@eVoloshchak any changes required on this PR yet ?

@aneequeahmad, do you have a fix that would make it centered on native platforms?
I've encountered this problem initially

[chiragsalian]

I'm not sure why i was removed as the reviewer here so I added myself. Waiting to hear if there is a native platform fix by @aneequeahmad.

[eVoloshchak]

@aneequeahmad, bump on the above

[eVoloshchak]

@chiragsalian, it seems like there is no reliable fix for native. Should we fix this for web/Desktop only?

[chiragsalian]

Should we fix this for web/Desktop only?

Sure that is fine with me for now. If it becomes a pain point for native we can create a follow up GH issue to discuss and fix.

@allroundexperts, you might want to specify to QA to test only on web/Desktop so that they don't waste time testing on mobile.
