How to increase font size of labels in JPanel without using UpdateUI?

I want to increase the font of labels on a JPanel using a slider.Right now I am using UpdateUI each time the slider is moved to refresh the entire panel.However I lose all the changes done,for example if a label is clicked it changes to blue.When I move the slider,it resets everything to the start.How to avoid this?

private static void applyLabelsFontSize(int fontSize) {
UIDefaults uiDefaults = UIManager.getDefaults();
Font font = uiDefaults.getFont("Label.font");
if (font != null) {
uiDefaults.put("Label.font", new FontUIResource(font.deriveFont(font.getStyle(), fontSize)));
}
SwingUtilities.updateComponentTreeUI(<the 'root' window of your app>);
}
