Looking through the apps scope, enforcing the single-line element of
this might be a problem, there's a lot of apps whose names won't fit in
a single line (especially translated).

Adding ubuntu-ux for design feedback.

** Description changed:

  When showing overlays, the title is always centered and the attributes and subtitles are left-aligned, so it looks wrong.

  Saviq's suggestion to fix this is to make titles always left aligned too, and to extend the category renderer so some scopes can align to the center if needed, using something like this:
-  { "title" : { "field": "title", "align": "center"}, ...}
+  { "title" : { "field": "title", "align": "center"}, ...}
+ 
+ All categories that wish to have centered titles need to send the above
+ in components, otherwise will be left-aligned.
+ 
+ NOTE also that this will force just a single line of title, so anything
+ that doesn't fit in one line will be elided.

** Summary changed:

- Overlays with attributes or subtitles look wrong
+ Centered title should be requested by scopes explicitly and limited to one line
