The `login_required.welcome_message` site text is centered on a login required site, which is aesthetically not so pleasing, in my opinion. Is there an easy fix to change this, to normal left-aligned text with wide, equal size margins on each side, or can the team be convinced to change the OOTB look? 🙏

A theme component with a little CSS will do the trick,

```scss
body.static-login .login-welcome {
  text-align: left;
  align-items: start;
}

```

Before:

You could also remove the box around it

```scss
body.static-login .login-welcome {
  text-align: left;
  align-items: start;
  background-color: transparent; 
  border: none; 
  box-shadow: none;
}

```
