My aging eyes not getting any better, I have to click on the app icons with a leap of faith. Kindly, I suggest the whole widget add a slide with a scaling factor that would enlarge the app menus by said factor.

I can't just change the scale in QML like that. The font size depends on the font settings in the system settings, just like in all standard KDE widgets, for example, NetworkManager. If the font in the widget is small, does that mean everything in the system is too small? Then you need to increase the Display Configuration > Scale in the system settings and increase the General Font size.

Fantastic, I will try that, and report back. I selected "Adjust all fonts: and changed font size to 14 from 12. It worked very well

Please close this issue as resoled.
