Sorry we can't fix that, the font size of the Palettes titels is a Window manager setting. So you must use the relevant Controlpanel of you OS to set the size.

In fact, there is only the "Window title" setting in KDE settings, and no "Palette titles" setting. Scribus just takes this "Window title" font size and arbitrarily decreases (about 1 pt?) it for "Palette titles" in Scribus. This is, plainly speaking, a very ugly solution -- the user has to change the "Window titles" size of his whole desktop environment just to change the "Palette titles" size in one of his programs...

I did change the "Window titles" setting, because I like Scribus. But, as stated above, this solution is ugly and could be too much asked for other Scribus users. Please reconsider.

Looked again into the Qt doucmentation, there is no function for setting the font size of window titles. You can only set the text, everything else is done by the window manager. So we really can't fix that.
