fix: adjust welcome screen padding and add border to chat list avatar #655
Conversation
WalkthroughThe welcome screen adjusts bottom safe area behavior and spacing: disables bottom SafeArea inset, increases bottom padding to 54.h, and reduces inter-button spacing to 4.h. The chat list active account avatar now passes showBorder: true to WnAvatar, adding a border. No public APIs changed. Changes

In lib/ui/auth_flow/welcome_screen.dart around lines 89–94, the SafeArea used
for the bottomNavigationBar currently has bottom: false; change it to bottom:
true and add SafeArea.minimum with EdgeInsets.only(bottom: 54.h) (or the
equivalent sized value used in the project) so the widget always reserves at
least 54px while still expanding for larger device insets; update any
imports/usage required to access .h sizing and run a sanity check on devices
with large home indicators (e.g., iPhone 14/15, Pixel 7).

Border should be dark‑mode only per PR description
The change forces a border in all themes. If the intent is “dark mode only,” gate it on theme brightness to avoid a light‑mode regression.

86-87, the WnAvatar currently uses showBorder: true; change this to
conditionally enable the border only in dark mode by using the theme brightness
(e.g. showBorder: Theme.of(context).brightness == Brightness.dark). Ensure this
change is made inside the widget's build method (so context is available) or
otherwise obtain the ThemeData, and remove the hardcoded true.

The PR description says it's only in dark mode, but here is appears that the border is present in both... but I tried it locally in light mode and it looks fine 🤔 ... probably the border is still there in light mode, but my eye can detect it.

@josefinalliende You're absolutely right! Thank you for testing it locally and providing those helpful screenshots.
After examining the WnAvatar implementation, I can see why it looks fine in both modes. The component already has theme-aware border styling built in:
border: Border.all(
color: borderColor ?? context.colors.border,
width: 1.w,
),The context.colors.border automatically uses the appropriate color for each theme - a subtle color in light mode (which is why you can barely detect it) and a more visible color in dark mode. This is exactly the behavior you're seeing in your screenshots.
My original suggestion to add conditional logic based on theme brightness was unnecessary since the theme-aware styling is already handled by the color system. The current implementation with showBorder: true is actually correct as it lets the theme system handle the appropriate border appearance for each mode.
Thanks for catching this and testing it thoroughly! The PR implementation is working as intended. 🐰
