Where is the Qt conf file in the KDevelop AppImage?

[Yaron Cohen-Tal]

Correct, I only checked it with KDevelop 4.7.0, which uses Qt 4, because
that's what I have in my Debian 8 system. I thought it's something similar
with Qt 5. But the bottom line question is - is there a way to change e.g.
the font size of the menus in the KDevelop 5.1.0 AppImage? Unfortunately my
eyesight isn't perfect, so it's a must for me.
