feat(AppearanceView): Added padding factor slider and modified default scaling factors for short screens

noeliaSD · noeliaSD · commit 4dda617df8a6 · 2025-11-17T14:28:30.000+01:00
- Adds a new padding factor slider to the `AppearanceView` to experiment with UI scaling behavior. This allows adjusting paddings dynamically for testing different density levels and layout responsiveness.

- Adds a new 100% screen scaling factor for mobile to provide a more natural and consistent visual baseline across devices.
Also updates the default UI configuration:

- Font size: set to S
- Padding: set to XXS

These defaults help achieve a cleaner, more compact layout while improving readability and overall UI density on mobile.
