Created attachment 187748 [details] sub page SUMMARY The "back" button for sub-pages should be the same size as the first-level pages. See attachments. Not only the "<" symbol, but also the text should be clickable. Also, only one of them has a "Navigate back" tooltip, resulting in inconsistency.

The conjoined button in the System Settings sidebar is custom; extending this UX to KCMs would entail implementing it in Kirigami; moving there. However I'm not sure it would be a good idea. Frankly I'm not sure the existing instance of this in System Settings was a good idea (I say this as the person who implemented it). The problem is that the law of proximity visually connects the page title to the back button; putting them both in the same clickable button would reinforce that even more. But this is confusing because the page title is for the *current* page while the back button takes you to the *previous* page! Ideally the back button would share a clickable frame with a label that tells you which page you'll be taken back to, not the name of the current page. But the whole idea of left-aligned page titles makes this virtually impossible. To improve on the situation there I think we'd need a fundamental re-think of how page titles work in Kirigami.
