With regards to the "Widget Style and Behaviour" label in the `kcmshell5
style` dialog: I don't find that particularly attracting under Breeze as well.
It's too "bulky" for my taste.
CC'ing Sebas, who've reworked the widget to look like this in
commit 510236aa9cea6bae48e548b42b5b721195bed121

Change titlewidget from bold to increased font size
This patch removes the bold weight from KTitleWidget and makes the text
a bit bigger, improving focus. This is more in line with common
expectations of a title, and it's more in line with Plasma 5's
typography.
Maybe we can find a solution that works well under both styles?
PS: I've no incentive for getting this fixed, just wanted to add my 2c and
connect people.
Cheers,
Kevin
