QtPlasmaC make the top row slightly taller? was created by Hakan
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.

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:
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.
