Looks much better imo, even the text seems to be vertically centered

Finally ! So much better.

Incredible!

Yeah the current maximum size is a little humongous. The mockup versions look much better IMO. I support this.

Technically speaking, this would entail adjusting the Level 1 size of the Heading component in Kirigami and PlasmaExtras, as well as the KTitleWidget in KWidgetsAddons. Margins might need tweaking in individual apps or the frameworks they're using.

@mart would you be okay with this?

+1 to this. It's a bit hard for me to get a proper perspective from the screenshots though since you appear to be using fractional scaling.

Yes, I use a fractional scaling of 1.5 but haven't considered that this could influence the appeareance very much. Though, I can add or replace the screenshots later with those taken with an integer scaling.

Fractional scaling does influence things like alignment for widget components that aren't anti-aliased. Things that are anti-aliased can look a bit fuzzy on the edges.

The problem here is that it's harder to shrink the image down to exactly how it would look on my screen when you use fractional scaling.

There's something off with the 1.0 scaling discover screenshots, the search bar is squashed and there seems to be extra vertical padding in the heading text

Level 1 headings are enormous even at 1x scaling.

I think the original point is valid.
