When using horizontal forms, there is a clear misalignment between the <label> and the <input> element text. This creates a weird user experience. I can overcome it with some manual padding, but this is tedious at best. Example from website

When using the standard input elements, the text also seems "high" i.e. very far from the line indicating the text. I assume the two items are related.

Is there an easy way to fix this? i.e. globally make the text lower by default.
