Windows 7 (Aero) does not offer an option to easily change the taskbar font size.

BACKGROUND:
I was using an increased DIP 125%. The problem being that many programs, sad to say, Microsoft's included, don't scale or position properly at other than 100%. I've reset the DPI to 100%, and have been able to customize most of my windows settings for easy reading, except the task bar font size

In Summary:

There are many ways to change the taskbar font color.
I'm looking to increase the actual font size.
