Refer to documentation of page sections:
Double-Click
Use Operation to perform on double-click to select what should WinSCP do when you double-click file in file panel:
It is possible to select between open and edit operation based on file extension. For this you will find Associated application editor preference useful.
When Copy is selected, disabling sub-option Confirm copy on double-click operation makes transfer options dialog not show and transfer start immediately with default options. Otherwise generic preference option for confirming transferring of files is followed.
The option is effectively ignored when resolving of symbolic links is disabled or not supported for current session, in which case double-clicking file is always interpreted as attempt to open it, just in case it is unresolved symbolic link.
Panel Font
File panels use system “Icon” font by default. If you want to make WinSCP use different font than the system default, check Use custom font and press Select font. The preview on the right will show you what the font looks like.
