Ability to change font sizes in Dolphin (All KDE Applications)

Don't think so but was wondering if there are any behind the scenes, secret tricks to getting custom font sizes within different programs specifically and for specific fonts within a program itself.

At the moment the only way you can change fonts is by going into the "Fonts" section in settings.
These fonts settings are applied on a global level to all programs as well as Plasma itself.
Not exactly desired because some font sizes change that you want but then other items linked to the same setting change that you don't want.

Main program I am looking to achieve this in is Dolphin.
So for example, I see within the program you can change file panels fonts size but there is no way to change the sidebars "Places" or "Folders" font size.
Side note, I would also like to be able to increase the size of the folder icons within the "Folders" sidebar folder tree, there is an option to change the size of icons in "Places" but not in "Folders"

Don't think any of this is possible but after seeing in other DEs that you can add the program name into I believe GTK folder to a CSS file and be able to apply a specific font size to just that program (although I don't think to specific items within that program), just was wondering if KDE Plasma had anything similar?

Thank You

Regarding Dolphin, within Dolphin Settings, View Mode you can change icon and font sizes. I do not think you can accomplish all that you want but it is a strat.
In general changing font sizes can be done in most application settings.
