I also would like to, but...

I have have seen:
http://redmine.darktable.org/projects/darktable/wiki/GuiGuidelines

which states:

principles

    *its about the image (not about the ui)! *
        serve, don't distract
        be in the background
        peace, balance, beauty

derived rules

    serve, dont distract
        every graphical element needs to justify it's shape
        solve functionality with gestalt effects rather than with
    explicit graphical elements e.g. no frame borders, but put things
    close to each other and far from the rest (law of proximity).

    stay in background
        very little colors   <<<<<<<<<<<<
        just enough contrast, not more  <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
        hide unnecessary functionality
        minimal screen real estate taken by controls.


What I did and it helped a little bit was set:

screen_dpi_overwrite=-2.0 in ~/.config/darktable/darktablerc/darktablerc

and the tags... became a little bit bigger. Before changing please
make a backup as your mileage may vary.
