Description
Description:
- You can scale the size of the left-side navigation by using "View Mode", and you can scale the size of the messages under Preferences -> View Mode, but there is no option to also scale the size of the right-side navitations like "Room Info" or "Members List",
- ->Leads to a seemingly oversized right-side navigation if you use condensed for the left-side and compact for messages
Expected result:
- Option to also scale the right-side navigations, maybe as an extension of the View Mode for the left-side navigation

Research direction
Start by tracing the existing View Mode controls for the left navigation and messages, then identify how the Room Info, Search Messages, and Members List right-side navigations choose their sizes. Define the preference and UI behavior for a compact right-side mode, and verify that the affected navigations consistently reflect it.
