There's nothing preventing a themer from releasing independent small, 
medium, and large themes, with elements resized and repositioned for 
larger text, as is likely how Windows handles things.  It all comes back 
to the fact that no one is being paid for this, so their efforts are 
only going to go to places that they will personally use.  They'll just 
pick the one size that works for them.
