LHS Implementation feedback

[wmwragg]

This collects the feedback on the LHS changes made for tickets #1746 and #1841

• The weight of rooms with unread messages is too hard to distinguish from unread (other than perhaps on retina displays), especially on muted rooms. Can we consider revising the design to increase the weight of the label text? This has only come up after having used it in practice.
• It's common for people to mute lots of rooms to hide notifs, whilst still actively participating in them. Therefore muted rooms being entirely greyed out is quite disconcerting. Perhaps we keep the text ungreyed for muted rooms, but leave the greyed mute icon as it is. This has only come up after having used it in practice - fixed in Wmwragg/mute mention state fix #1926 and Wmwragg/mute mention state fix matrix-org/matrix-react-sdk#390
• Hitmask on the selectors of the dropdown mentions menu should include the bullets - fixed in Wmwragg/mute mention state fix #1926 and Wmwragg/mute mention state fix matrix-org/matrix-react-sdk#390
• Hitmask for switching room should be larger - fixed on the matrix-react-sdk:wmwragg/mention-state-menu branch

• Bolded long truncated can collide with the badge and look ugly (this on Chrome 52 on Linux):

fixed in #1926 and matrix-org/matrix-react-sdk#390
