[Request] [Manual Edit] XML code to change the Size/Height of Experience Bar?

[Sp00sty]

Is there any XML code I can manually use to change just the Height of the Experience Bar? Or is that a Locked Element per the API/Sticky.

There are addons to change the value text but they don't re-size the Bar Height in relation to a change which then interferes with readability if I set the text larger than the bar when needed for my GUI scale/eyesight.

I can change the entire frame size with addons but they don't change just the height and to get/keep the text within the bar the entire frame is several orders too large.

For the vanilla progress bar, this chat command will scale it vertically by 1.5.
/script ZO_PlayerProgressBar:SetTransformScaleY(1.5)

Thanks Calamath for the code line.
-> example addon for your self-test Sp00sty : See attachment, untested!

You can change the variables progressBarScaleX and progressBarScaleY in the file ProgressBarScale.lua according to your needs.
Only use number values here, and . as decimal separator, no value < 0.

If you get any error message:
ESC -> AddOns -> Enable checkbox "Detailed error messages".
ReloadUI.
Repeat the error

Send the complete error message here "as text!" (no screeshots).

Thanks,

I was hoping for just some XML and you went above and beyond.

The Chat code works fine and then I can work back and forth with Azurah (show always + text Font/size) even if only temporary for each session.

But the addon doesn't seem to do anything, no visual change on screen after activated and the following error, /relaodui and log in/out no change:
