Krita's animation dockers are HUGE, how can I resize them?

Hey! I'm trying out animating with Krita, because I haven't had much luck finding free, frame by frame animation software. Unfortunately though, after getting all my dockers up, I realized that everything is huge and I can't resize any of it. I'm using Windows 10, and I haven't been able to find any good solutions online yet. I have a picture to show my problems off. Could I have some help please? Really just want to animate without having a timeline in my way. https://imgur.com/a/w4B9TxN

You can grab/drag anywhere on the top edge of the Timeline docker to pull it down (or up). The small dotted section in the middle is a clue marker.
All dockers are resizable and repositionable and tabbing/stackable but some have minimum sizes.

I've tried doing that, but I've pulled it down as far as it'll let me, and it's still pretty big.

Ahhhh, this is a Windows display thing and there is a way of dealing with it but I don't know how. It has been dealt with in forum posts before. You can try using Search to find posts about it or you can wait for an answer from someone who knows.

The Timeline docker can be resized to show only a single layer row, you should be to do so by dragging the top edge of it down when your mouse cursor changes to a ↕ symbol. You can also double-click in the top where the dots are to break it free from the other dockers.

Does your screenshot show the maximum size the Krita window can be on your screen? (With a resolution of 1360*768 or 1366*768 I'm assuming)
In that case the screen scaling problem on Windows shouldn't affect you, but just in case: Uncheck the Enable Hi-DPI support option under Settings > Configure Krita > General > Window. If the OK button at the bottom is cut off due to the scaling, press Alt+O to confirm and restart Krita for it to take effect. If that alone doesn't work, it might be necessary to set the Scale option in your Windows settings under Display to 100% first, then do the above steps in Krita and then reset the Scale to the previous value.

Ah, okay now I know what the problem is: The Animation and Onion Skins dockers on the right side prevents the Timeline docker from shrinking more, because they're linked to the same row. Tear those dockers out and put them somewhere else, then it should work fine.
