Segoe UI 9 pt. to Tahoma 8 pt?

[thorazine]

Hi, I was using the wonderful StyleSelector (before located here or in this deviant's page but it seems now its defunct...) tool to change the visual styles fonts I've used in Vista to Tahoma 8 pt. It was a great simple tool that not only let you use unsigned themes but also override the font and font size used by theme on the fly without editing or changing preferences.

Now I switched to 7 it seems this gem doesnt work any more with new uxtheme service, or at least I could not get the StyleSelector service to install.

So this is a 2 part question:

- Anyone got StyleSelector to work in 7 somehow or is there any newer/patched/alternative version of such a tool?

- Is there any other way to change the style fonts?

I know I can change some of the fonts with advanced properties, I already did that, but as you already noticed too this doesnt change many of the visual style parts that are hard coded to Segoe UI.

Also I know I can substitute Segoe UI for Tahoma system-wide with a font rule but this will not change the size from 9 pt to 8 pt so that will not achieve what I really want.

From what I have googled it seems I would have to end up editing Aero's style fonts straight...

Has anyone already done this (Aero modded to Tahoma 8 pt)? Or anyone knows of a nice theme for 7 that is built with Tahoma 8 pt. fonts?
