Created attachment 161829 [details] Current style I find the password fields mask character (the big dot showing up instead of text) to be way too big. They should be smaller IMO, of course centered on the vertical middle line of the textbox. That would give a more polished look to the whole system, especially since a password field is what the user sees always when prompted for login in SDDM. Attaching what it loosk like now vs a mockup I made.

The dot currently comes from the active font. Doing what you propose turns out to be surprisingly challenging without deleting that architecture entirely and using custom dots. Doing so is possible, but would have to be implemented in multiple places that are then kept in sync, and would result in a higher overall maintenance burden over time. So I don't think it's worth it, sorry. But thanks for the idea anyway!
There is this workaround for that: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52500097/how-to-make-bullet-points-bigger-in-password-mode-for-qlineedit Basically use another Unicode code point, should do the trick
Huh, I had no idea. Ok, re-opening.
Styles can set it with a style hint SH_LineEdit_PasswordCharacter
