For group headers, yes, one reasonable design would be the same as standalone labels but bold.
However, a different reasonable design would be using small caps and a different color. Whatever the design is, the theme designer should be able to change the style of all group headers at once, without affecting standalone labels. This suggests to me that it should be a separate element. If this was HTML, an intro label would be <p>...</p>, while a group header would be <h2>...</h2>. People sometimes use <p><b>...</b></p> for headings, but that's a bad idea because it's hard to restyle them later. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-ui-toolkit in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1242666 Title: Standalone labels as an element distinct from group headers Status in Ubuntu UI Toolkit: Confirmed Status in “ubuntu-ui-toolkit” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: The toolkit currently lacks a standalone label element. This is used, for example, for labels introducing controls in the many cases where a group header would be inappropriate. I have written up a full rationale, including example wireframes, and discussed it with other designers at the patterns meeting. <http://goo.gl/F6dlNd> The font style for standalone labels should be the same as for other labels, such as those next to checkboxes or switches.
