[Feature] Interface Scaling (Shrink Text, etc?) #83

I absolutely adore Kenku, it's exactly what I've been looking for. The functionality is perfect, and I rarely run into bugs. Furthermore, it's created a wonderful alternative to what would otherwise be very expensive or subscription-based services that were all too overpriced, and I'm broke and just want to play D&D with nice audio :')

But I digress! While I'm deeply in love with the program, there are minor QoL changes I'd love to see. Several already have threads on this board, but one I haven't seen that I'd like to touch on is UI scaling. Currently, here's how my application looks: image

As you can see, basically most of the track titles get cut off. They're not insanely long, either, but the font size is so large and doesn't wrap, so some of them are shortened by half their length or more. This is especially annoying just because with these tracks, many share titles but have different descriptors at the end of the track name (using this screenshot's examples, there's "Along the Zizira", but also a track titled "Along The Zizira (Music Box)"--but with the latter getting cut off, that important descriptor is impossible to see unless I click to edit the track and can then see the file name).

This screenshot is also with the window fully maximized (though the screenshot does not include the lefthand sidebar of the program, obviously). In other words, I cannot make the window any larger on my monitor. The size of the tracks' blocks, in addition to the font size overall, feels excessively large, and gives a bit of a claustrophobic/cluttered feeling. Slimming everything down and being more space-efficient would be a huge improvement. But my most pressing issue is the inability to easily view full track titles; there's not even hover-text if I mouse over them.

And for the record, the issue of the text being too big and getting cut off also applies to the text on Soundboard/Playlist titles! Really just being able to adjust scaling somehow, or having the UI more intuitively condense/wrap content like that would be an amazing improvement.

Thanks for reading!

Hate to revive an old thread, but the program definitely needs this. If you have more than 4 files in a soundboard, the UI is a mess.
