Description

On a Windows 11 system running Quassel Client v0.14.0 at 150% scaling, the UI appears disproportionately oversized compared to all the other programs in the system.

This is a known bug with Qt that can be solved by setting the global environment variable 

QT_SCALE_FACTOR_ROUNDING_POLICY=PassThrough
in system settings, which isn't exceptionally difficult, however, it would make sense to make necessary changes in the source code for convenience reasons.

I ran into the exact same issue on Windows 11 with 150% scaling. Setting QApplication::setHighDpiScaleFactorRoundingPolicy(Qt::HighDpiScaleFactorRoundingPolicy::PassThrough) in main.cpp before initializing QApplication fixes it directly fnf game in the codebase.
