QCustomChatListItem
One conversation row in a messenger list.
A leading avatar (with an online status dot), the contact name, an elided
last-message preview, a timestamp and an optional unread-count badge -- the
exact anatomy of a chat/messenger conversation list. Composed from QLabels
and a QCustomAvatar so the text uses real fonts and themes by role, while a
painted rounded background gives the selected row its highlight pill. Set
active to mark the open conversation, unread for the badge count, and
muted to dim the row. Emits clicked so a list can route selection.
