[FIX] mail: no 'Today at' for messages posted recently

PR #204921

Coresaas-18.2mail

Messages posted today now show only the time instead of “Today at HH:mm”. This makes message headers shorter and aligns the mail view with the notification menu, improving readability for frequent recent messages.

Original PR description

Before this commit, message that were posted today relative to current user all had "Today at HH:mm".

All other messages posted in the past have "Yesterday at HH:mm" or "Month Day at HH:mm" format. Therefore we could just display "HH:mm" and deduce easily these are messages from today.

The main benefit of removing "Today at" is to reduce the length of message header. This shorten for recent messages, which contribute to a big chunk of messages.

This also matches with messaging menu that displays the timestamp for recent notifications with just "HH:mm".

[FIX] mail: discuss app slightly darker in dark theme

PR #204920

Coresaas-18.2mail

The Discuss app’s dark theme now uses darker backgrounds for conversations and surrounding panels. This improves contrast and makes messages easier to read while keeping the interface visually consistent.

Original PR description

Before this color, the bg color of conversation in discuss app in dark theme was lighter than bg color of chat window.

This made reading conversation slightly harder in discuss app compared to chat window, due to reduced contrast.

This commit fixes the issue by darkening the bg color of discuss app conversation by reusing the body color like in chat window and white theme.

The left / top / right / control / systray panels were using the body bg color, therefore to keep same separation with the conversation bg, their color have been slightly adjusted by being a bit darker. Active item bg is also slightly darker for improved readability.
