Theme / Skin

I want to give user some option to customize the UI. For example, they can set a larger font size (say, +2) with a different font. My app has lots of controls, some inherit the font settings from the parent, some has customized setting.

How can I apply the change easily across many controls? The controls with inherited font is easy, because modifying the font setting in the parent will propagate the setting down. The problem is the control with custom font settings.

I can't see any other way but going trough all the controls using a foreach statement and setting the Font's sizeto another value.
