digikamrc fragment

After install of 7.0.0-rc on a Windows laptop with a 13-inch screen, the fonts and icons were too large to be usable.  This problem did not occur with 7.0.0-beta2.  I tried a clean install after completely removing the old version, but the same result occurred.

I was able to get a better result if I changed my Windows font setting from "150% (Recommended)" to "100%", but after install of digikam 7.0.0-rc and reverting to 150%, the same problem exists.

I looked at the digikamrc files for the two different installations (beta2 and rc), and I think the problem has something to do with the Height, Width, and Windows-Maximized settings.  See attached file.

Can I edit digikamrc directly as a workaround?  Should I delete the duplicate Height and Width settings in the General Settings section?  I reverted to beta2, but would like to help evaluate rc.

Use Windows environment editor and setup a user variable "QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR" to "0".
