Originally created by @vlakoff on GitHub (Nov 5, 2015).

I usually love narrow interfaces! But when it is too small it has an impact on usability (precision required for mouse clicking).

Namely, I'm thinking about list of torrents, and list of files (bottom panel).

On my system (Windows 7), they are 16px. Lines in the left panel are 18px, and I think it looks much better.
Also, the left panel lines are highlighted on hover. This feature would be very helpful for the lists of torrents and files.

Just in case, refs github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent@6cb7de33f6

#4057 is about font size but it's related in some way.

Some time has passed, and I have got really used to the interface.

Feel free to close this issue if it's not straightforward to implement and you want to tidy up a bit.

Well, now the problem is reversed - at least for me since 4.2.2. now lines are too high (20 px with regular window scaling). Wish I could disable update pop-up cause I'm not going to next versions until I can get my 16px lines back.

This is a big issue for me, too. I don't have a 4K monitor like all the cool kids, just a 1080p. Previous to 4.2.2 I used to see 42 line items in my transfer list, which has now been reduced to 33 1/2 (80%). FEATURE: Refactored Transfer List code to allow theming. As a sideffect the row height has more padding. (glassez) @glassez

I absolutely hate hate hate hate hate this, but I can't return to 4.2.1 due to severe portable mode file path bugfixes in 4.2.2.

Is there no way to hack this padding size by manually editing the config file? Or maybe hex edit some value in the windows binary?

@a-raccoon Try legacy custom theme.
Also look How to use custom UI themes.

Closing as workaround exists.
