Title: Applet Panel — Independent UI Scale Setting
Description: The applet panel should have its own UI scale control, separate from the main application's scale setting. This would allow users to size the applet panel independently (e.g., keeping it compact while the main UI is larger, or vice versa), which is especially useful on multi-monitor setups or when screen real estate is limited.

Research direction
Start by locating the applet panel and the existing main-application UI scale control in the Qt6/C++20 codebase. Trace how the current scale setting is stored and applied, then determine where an independent applet setting would belong. Done means the applet panel can be scaled separately while the main UI retains its own setting, including on multi-monitor layouts.
