I can't live without those, more so after Windows 7 EOL'ed...
I use many tweaks from Winaero, like the one that enables a custom title bar height, for instance.

I get rid of as many UI items as possible - no frills gooey.
In my case, i usually want all items of frequent use easily accessible, with just one click if possible

I'd love to reduce eye strain by using dark themes, but they don't display well in TN panels

That's one of the things like most about calibre, I can avoid the clutter of button bars and such like whilst retaining access to functionality via use of keyboard shortcuts and keyboard accessible context menus.
As i'm more of a mouse user, clicking buttons feels comfier most of the time :P

--------------------

I just found this nifty program and did some tests:
https://github.com/lihas/windows-DPI-scaling-sample

The attached screenshots show my Calibre at 100% and 125% scaling.

I'd prefer to view Calibre always on 100%, and I suspect that on QT based software it might be easier to have them displayed without any scaling (1920 x 1080 @ 100%, in my case). There are plenty of combinations of environment variables and windows settings that might achieve this purpose, but I just can't figure out how to do it...

So I'd be happier with:

1) Calibre and any other QT based programs: 1920 x 1080 @ 100%
2) Other programs and main Windows UI: 1920 x 1080 @ 125%

Ideally, I think users should have the ability to set custom resolutions for each program, however that seems unachievable.
