In Plasma 6.1.1, window titles have a now a *huge* solid background, which improves readability _if_ widgets are shown behind.

However, these backgrounds are so huge, that they make the overview look very busy, especially, when you have many windows opened and they are arranged in a way that they come very close to each other in space.

Indeed they can be so close together, that the window title backgrounds can actually cover other windows a little bit. Please see the screenshot.

I'd be in favor to reduce the padding to a minimum.

WindowHeapDelegate: label topMargin to small, remove height padding

of each other in Overview effect.
