Please provide the following information

qBittorrent version and Operating System

4.2.2
Windows 8.1 Pro x64

What is the problem

4.2.2 UI scaling is huge on my high DPI panel (14" 2560 x 1440),
and I can find no way to reduce it. 4.2.1 was fine. 4.2.2 not so much.

What is the expected behavior

Same scaling as 4.2.1

Steps to reproduce

Open 4.2.2

Editing qt.conf, uncommenting and changing
;WindowsArguments = dpiawareness=1
to
WindowsArguments = dpiawareness=0
made an improvement, but it's still too big.
