Horizontal labels in the sidebar, seriously? How much space is that wasting?

If your icons are too small and you are using a 4K screen with scaling factor, enable the option to scale to screen factor in digiKam Settings-> Miscellaneous-> System. Also enable HiDPI Icons.

Flexibility but not usability. -1 for me...
