How to Change JUST the FONT Size Alone

[Girl Friday]

This took me days to find on Windows 7 and there was much confusion searching on the web between SCALING one size on the Screen vs changing JUST the Font and title boxes etc like XP and I've only created this account to post this so that it may help others who I've seen frustrated in the same predicament. Apologies if this has been covered.

Basically it's this simple =

1 ~ Right Click on Desktop
2 ~ Click Personalize
3 ~ Click the Window Color at the bottom of the Dialogue box (next to desktop background)
4 ~ Click Advanced Appearance Settings

And Voila, there appears your Window Color and Appearance box where you can use the drop down items to change the individual sizes of all things such as ICONS, MENUS, MESSAGE BOXES, SCROLLBARS BLAH BLAH

Click Apply and Alter to Personal Tastes !!

Well, that's it, I never had an issue finding it on XP OR 8.1 but Windows 7 was frustrating but hoping this may help somebody

Thanks, Have a Fabulous week ahead

Peace and Happies

Stephanie
