As others have mentioned, you can't change this easily without
changing the code.
But you can probably use the OS to make the app larger.
I'm not sure if Windows has this, but on a Mac you can
zoom the screen by hitting Alt-Apple-'=' and Alt-Apple-'-'
(when the System Prefs -> Universal Access zoom feature is enabled)
If Windows doesn't have this, you can surely change the display
resolution to something /smaller/; then the fonts will appear larger.
