Vista - Change computer appearance

Hello and thanks for the help. In Windows 2000 I could go to the computer
properties, select the appearance tab and change universal things like: menu
font size, tooltip appearance, icons spacing, window background, etc. I can't
find this feature in Vista. Specifically, I need to make my menu font size
bigger and my tool tips bigger. But I like the other stuff too. Where did it
go?

Right click the desktop, select Personalize, then "Window Color and
Appearance", finally select "Open Classic Appearance Properties ...".

That doesn't seem to work. It allows a change but the appearance in Word, PP,
etc doesn't change. Example, I asked the tooltips to be size 14, bright green
and nothing was changed in the applications. I asked the font to be size 16
and it did not become size 16. : ( Any other thoughts? Sheri
