  1. Can not change Taskbar and Desktop popup menu font


    Hi, on Windows 10 I have changed system font to Tahoma, like in WinXP by using Winaero Tweaker. This is the most readable / best font on my normal DPI graphics monitor - Eizo ColorEdge CG243W. But on Taskabar and desktop popup menu font is still default Segoe UI. How can I change it? Can Microsoft make a convenient option in settings to change system font? It is very important setting for those who uses normal DPI displays.

    :)
