All buttons too big on desktop #453

All buttons are way too big for desktop use. Especially the toolbar buttons. I'm trying the template on a 17" FullHD display. When running on native scaling 1:1 the buttons are big, yet usable to some extent. When switching to 125% scaling (which is how I actually use my display), though, they become giant to say the least. This not the case when using the Joomla 3 admin. On other hand, I must admit, that the Joomla 3 buttons are way too small, when not scaled, so I rather think the right balance should be struck between the two sizes. Actually, I made some tests changing the sizing and to my opinion keeping the font size, but reducing the line height to about 30px and reducing the paddings to about 12-13px is the right thing to do - buttons are well readable with and without scaling (since the font is same size actually), acceptable as click target sizes too. In addition - a giant amount of horizontal space is saved/opened to add more buttons. Again - I'm talking about the desktop version. Mobile version has fairly different requirements in terms of click/touch target sizing, so I believe the current sizes might be OK for it.

The other way around is to code different sizing for different DPI, of course ;-).
