This should have been part of your form design from Day 1. Now that you're almost done with the app, there's no such thing as "little effort".

If all you're doing is changing the font size of the text in all the controls, then you can open the designer code file and search and replace the Font lines as appropriate. You're still going to have to go through the code to make sure you don't change anything you don't want changed.

If you're looking to size the controls themselves and the font sizes, you're going to have to rework the layout of the form to include TableLayoutPanels and other layout controls as well as moving the controls into the layout panels and setup proper Anchor and Docking of the controls to get the look you want.

You should have done application layout which automatically adjusts to any form size without even handling the Resize event or overriding of the virtual method OnResize. All should be done using one simple principle: never ever use fixed position and size.

(Please see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.form.aspx[^]).

I explained the basic ideas in my past answers, please see:
Zom Out malfunctions when Screen resolution changes[^],
GUI Apperance - C#.Net[^],
this one shows a rudimentary code sample: how to dock button so that it can adjust with the form[^].
