Kevin, thanks so much for the tweak! It worked great to make the fields much bigger and readable. The only problem is that when I first invoked the change, it seemed to set some persistent state or cache. So now whenever I open sigil from the shortcut that I entered the command line into, the elements in the S&R box are now always set at 22pt -- because that is the first value I tried. This is pretty huge!
This is the case no matter what value I enter into the qt_styles.qss sheet. If I put in 8pt it’s still opening up at 22pt. I even rebooted my system and it didn’t change. So 22pt is stuck somewhere inside my Windows system, or in QT or in Sigil. Do you know how I can clear it?

I will see about adding some code to Sigil to look into its preferences for a qt_styles.qss file and if found, to load it. I think this has to be done before the application main window is loaded.

This would be great. Currently I use the "open with" plugin to open epubs directly from within Calibre. That plugin doesn’t seem to work with shortcuts. So it would be nice to be able to have the tweak every time Sigil opens, whether from a shortcut or not.

I can not understand how a Windows 10 can not have settings for controlling all of these things at the OS level.

Display scaling has been a big issue since the last few Windows versions. Users had more control with Windows XP, but not anymore. I think the adoption of high-res monitors combined with the huge amount and variety of legacy software made it difficult for them to move forward, so they stripped away user options in order to simplify things. That’s just a guess on my part.
