### Problem Description
FreeTube has only a full page zoom, which assumes that there is an optimal relation between the fonts and thumbnail size that works for all or most users. As a result, thumbnails in a grid of playlists are huge and annoying compared to their captions, and zooming does nothing to change that. https://github.com/FreeTubeApp/FreeTube/issues/4605
### Proposed Solution
Separate the text and thumbnail size controls, at least in the settings.
Since everything is controlled by CSS, it should be easy to specify a base font size in pixels and a thumbnail size in pixels or ms or ns.
Themes could be made external CSS files, so the user could specify the sizes for specific contexts like the playlist windows.
### Alternatives Considered
Add buttons to +/- font size and thumbnails on the top panel.
