Zeal looks too small on Linux

Hello! Zeal looks too small on Linux. I can Ctrl+MouseWheelZoom on the docs, but rest of the app looks too small.
I am a long time Zeal user. This is the first time I tried it on a Linux. One of the things I tried is to use lxappearance and set the Default Font to bigger sizes. Other programs respond to this change, but not Zeal.
Details:
- OS: Debian
- No DE, just a tiling window manager.
- Zeal v0.6.2-dev
- Resolution: 1920x1080
Screenshot at font size 14 on lxappearance.
Screenshot at font size 18 on lxappearance.
Screenshot of a docset after manually zooming in. Notice the left list panel looking much smaller in comparison.
This may be a problem with the Qt appearance settings, and the LXAppearance application is intended to change GTK (formerly Gtk+) appearance settings, specifically targeting Gtk+2.0 and Gtk+3.0 versions. Most installations of the Zeal documentation browser on Linux systems are based on Qt, so changing Gtk+2.0/Gtk+3.0 settings may have no bearing on the Qt appearance and interface settings.
I think this small interface should be fixed with Zeal v0.7 built against Qt 6. Alternatively, this is caused by misconfiguration of the Qt platform plugin, so Qt apps don't look native in your DE.
Great news! Hope this fixes it. 🤞
@anmsh were you able to test Qt 6 based Zeal v0.7.x?
The latest version as per my distro is 0.6+. I will try with the source install and report back.
