More default spacing

space readability UX
Okay, I'm nitpicking here. I know. But it bugs me to no end how cramped articles can get, once you decide to add a lot of paragraphs.   See this, for instance:   
The headers are WAY too close from the text above them imo, which makes for poor readability. Everything feels like a slump of text, instead of flowing.   It wouldn't take much for it to look better, just a few more points of space, as it is for the Header and the text below it, for instance, perhaps a tad more but barely.   In my opinion, it would really encourage fully fleshed out articles and to use the templates to their full potential, instead of limiting oneself because of this, or having to look for half-baked solutions, or more complex coding.   I do feel the issue mostly comes from this header size specifically, but honestly they all could use a bit more space to breathe.

The Team's Response

Please contact me with the theme(s) you have issue with the spacing of headers   "it is a bit annoying the way articles are laid out" - UnknownWriter88 I am not even sure how to reply to this so I will just ignore it at this point. This is no way to respond.

    As a graphic designer I do wish there was more space between headers and the text above it. It reads like the header text is apaty of the prevous text then being the header of a new topic.

    I find that a couple
    fixes the problem nicely. I just look at article and see where they need to be.

    IF you have an issue with a theme contact the theme creator or file a bug - this is not a feature request.

    Yes, I can —and do —easily adjust this with CSS. But this is about changing the default and I usually find that something like 1 or 2 rem is appropriate for most headers' top-margin. This is about altering the theme css, nothing else.

    This is a CSS issue, and any modification to spacing on a site-wide level would mess with so many people's existing formatting that I'm going to have to downvote this.

    This is entirely dependant on your theme and the css code behind. It doesn't require a change. Try to put this in your CSS code (go to the discord CSS help page if you're new) : .user-css h2 {margin-top: 20px;}

    It's easier to add than to take away, though. Adding an enter at the end of a section is easier than having to go through css to remove that default spacing because you want to do something else, such as a horizontal line.

    I do my own formatting and use only the vignette for personal preferences, but this might be good for those who don't / are new to the site and stick to the prompt fields. *shrug*

    It would be nice if there was more space above the headers automatically. I figured out how to add extra space to the end of the prior section so that it's more spaced out but it is a little awkward.
