Okay I created a text file called qt_styles.qss with the following contents on my desktop:

Code:

QLabel { font-size: 16pt }
QLineEdit { font-size: 16pt }
QComboBox { font-size: 16pt }

Then I fired up Sigil using the following command line on my Mac:

Code:

cd /Applications/Sigil.app/Contents/MacOS
./Sigil -stylesheet /Users/kbhend/Desktop/qt_styles.qss

And this worked to increase the sizes of the text in the QComboBox that is used in the Find and Replace dialog.

So please try the same thing on Windows (adding the command line option):
-stylesheet=PATH_TO_YOUR_QT_STYLES.QSS

and see if it can be used to change those fields in the Find and Replace enough to make things better. Right now, I can increase things too much and mess things up so there are limits before the dialog itself has to grow in size but this should help.

If this does work well enough to use, I can modify Sigil to look in its own preferences for a qt_styles.qss file and if found try and load it. It would default to being empty.

edit: @theducks, you should be able to use this same approach to change background and foreground elements colors as well.
