I’ve posted some other comments on the other thread you created:
Responding to the points you made in your initial screenshot:
- As others have pointed out, whether start-aligned or center-aligned is more appropriate tends to depend on the amount of material people are putting on their cards.
- I feel like you’ve picked a window height that is favourable to the top padding you’ve chosen. In a shorter or longer window, it’s going to look more unbalanced. And the increased padding will mean less can be shown on small screens by default.
- Limiting horizontal width is going to upset users who want to see images taking up the full space, such as large image occlusions.
- A list of fallback fonts makes it a bit more complicated for inexperienced users to change.
- Line height and hr styling are comparatively obscure, so we could potentially tweak these in implicit styling not included in the template, if we have a way to avoid breaking existing templates.
One possible way to avoid the wall-of-text issue would be to move some of these customizations into a configurable “base style” that notetypes can be set to (such as “basic” and “modern”), but it would mean the user-editable styling section is less self-documenting, or would need to be commented out so it doesn’t override the base style.
