Research direction

Start by locating the conversation UI that displays the date-time between messages and the sending label/check icon; the issue does not name files or tests. Use the attached comparison as a reference, then confirm the proposed size change with maintainers. Done means those elements are smaller while remaining readable and the message status is still clear.

Feature description

I feel like the date-time between two messages should be smaller, to prioritize information by importance. Same as the "sending" label and the check icon that notify the message has been sent.

I totaly can do it, I wait for you approval.
