This is a brute-force method. Effective, but inelegant. The first real control lies in a plain-text file you've probably never opened. On Windows, it's in %APPDATA%\qBittorrent\qBittorrent.conf ; on Linux, ~/.config/qBittorrent/qBittorrent.conf ; on macOS, ~/Library/Application Support/qBittorrent/qBittorrent.conf .

/* Buttons shouldn't be gigantic */ QPushButton { font-size: 12pt; padding: 4px; }

So, open your qBittorrent.conf . Write a stylesheet. Your eyes will thank you. And if you're a developer reading this—consider submitting a patch for a native font picker. It's time.

/* Log and status bars */ QTextEdit, QStatusBar { font-size: 12pt; }

Right-click the desktop > Display settings > Scale. Set to 125% or 150%. qBittorrent will respect this. Caveat: This scales everything—icons, padding, and fonts—which can lead to blurriness on some older versions.
