Notifications popup: Remain with header/footer size or amend?
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

With T97631 in, we need to revisit Notifications popup.

While on normal interfaces/Desktop/Vector/WikimediaUI theme we now have 32px height as button sizing, OOUI dialogs, especially confirmation dialogs feature 44px, which is sufficient for touch and pointer devices on height alone.

Should we stay with the current 50px height here, or can we go for 44px to be harmonious with surrounding interface elements when re-aligning elements in the popup?
For the harmonious reasons, I'd personally be in favor of 44px, here's a take:

I think shrinking down to 44px for consistency makes sense.

Agree. That would also avoid the footer to be larger than the header of the panel, bringing more balance to the visual hierarchy.
