New user experience 2

Device: Win10 Surface Pro4

set home to an empty folder, or move existing ~/.leo folder where it's not found. This is the first thing I see after setting userid. Very cramped.

Maximizing the window helps, but it still isn't great. It does not present Leo's best face to the world. Log window is chopped off and only 5 lines of Body and Render pane are visible. Display resolution is 1920x1200 with text scaling at 150% (Microsoft's recommended setting on this device).

So what can be done about it?

Restrictions

Qt must use px or pt units for font sizing. Margins, padding, etc. can also use em and ex but not any other CSS units. (I was hoping for rem). Em and ex are hard to get right because they are relative to the font-size of the current container, meaning padding of 1em in a <p> element is different from 1em in <h1> is different from <dd>.
