Illustration of the problem
SUMMARY
The new star+text button "default device" is disproportionately large,
especially on the plasmoid. On my system, it takes half the space normally
available for reading the name of the device.
Even with a shorter text like "default" it would be too long for the purpose.
I have seen the relevant discussion in https://phabricator.kde.org/D23389, but
apparently at the time the button was located in a third line, below the volume
area. Also, the background coloring makes it clear whether the option is on or
off, so the concern about filled/unfilled stars in third-party themes might be
unwarranted.
If anything, I'd suggest adding a "icon-only button" option to reduce the space
for users who are familiar with the button (similar to okular's navigation
bar).
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Connect several audio output devices
2. Open the plasmoid
OBSERVED RESULT
The "default device" buttons take a disproportionate amount of space on the
plasmoid.
EXPECTED RESULT
Less crowded plasmoid, or with more space for displaying the name of the
devices.
