How can I increase the height of the top row of QtPlasmaC?

There is a bad combination of thick fingers and the touch screen and its frame that makes it quite tricky to touch the top row items.
I have a 1920x1080 monitor and have changed resolution to 1368x717 to make the items as large as possible.
Is there an easy way to make the row say 5 pixels taller? I think that would do, it's not much that's needed.

I have to agree, to thin even for big 24" monitors, and also add an arrow pointing down to show those are menus.

Sure, custom stylesheets make this possible. You can change basically anything about the UI from a styling standpoint that you like.

You can create a file called qtplasmac_custom.qss in your machine config file.

Then you can add the following stanza:

Code:
#material_label, #velocity_label, #velocity_show, #machine_label, #arc_label, #file_clear, #file_open, #file_reload { min-height: 24px; max-height: 24px; }

Change 24px to whatever you like.

Here is the blurb from the user manual in case you find it helpful: linuxcnc.org/docs/devel/html/plasma/qtpl...#_add_a_custom_style

If you want to get a idea of what the names of the items are you could open up this file:

github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/blob/master...plasmac/qtplasmac.ui

There's also some other stuff lurking around that can be changed that you'll have to have a search on the qtvcp manuals for. The preview window mouse options, colors, etc. Most things are available at this point.

Shown at 48px for fun:
