GnuCash 2.4.8 changed appearance on Windows 7?

[Randy Orrison]

Thanks.  Not crashing is always a good thing.

Is it possible then to adjust the font size within the theme? I don't 
really mind things like the scrollbar appearance, but would prefer 
everything to be just that little bit smaller.  (I'm not at the PC with 
Windows and GnuCash, so I can't try the Select Theme tool at the moment.)
