Thank for the free software, but the UI is difficult to use on Windows. If only the UI gets better....

1. Please let users adjust the font sizes for different parts of the UI, such as for the main menu, the panels, dialogue box, etc. In my case, they are too small and blurry. Please do not say "Adjust the Windows system DPI." or "change system font size", etc. The system is already using a big DPI value. Changing the system font size makes unwanted things stupidly large. I have already enabled "Hi-DPI support"

2. When the mouse cursor (in Windows settings) is big, the tooltip gets obscured.

3. Maybe menu/command search feature? Many modern complex applications have it, like Blender, VS Code, Android Studio, etc. This can alleviate the small font problem of the menu and buttons, because, users would not have to scrutinise the complex small-fonted menus/buttons, and just search for it.

1 and 2 are not our doing; we use Qt, Qt provides tooltips, hidpi support and scaling. 3 is something we've worked on for a bit, but we have way more important things to do first.
