[tresorama]

Describe the Bug.

Personal preference here.

Status Bar - Document Metadata ( Status, Last Modifified, ...) - visually heavy (distracting while editing main content)

Current

Polished

Custom CSS

/** Status Bar (Status, Autosave, Last Modified...) */
.doc-controls__list-item {

  & .doc-controls__label,
  & .status__label {
    font-weight: 500;
    color: var(--theme-elevation-600)
  }

  & .doc-controls__value,
  & .status__value,
  & .autosave {
    font-weight: 400;
    color: var(--theme-elevation-500)

I converted this to a discussion since it isn't a bug as we define them.
I'd defer to @tylandavis on if this is the right direction or not and also feedback from the community is always appreciated!

If it ends up being a change we want to support then we would consider merging a PR from the community.

Thanks!

^ agree with the above, just want to say that we're in the process of re-designing the Admin UI so any feedback around it would be great here: #13979
