My control bar and message log are way too zoomed in for my screens and I cant find how to change them: https://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?Image=1642499946561.png I changed the all the fonts back to default and that fixed a lot of it but the chart borders and chart drawing size is far to big Date Time Of Last Edit: 2022-01-18 10:52:35

The border of a chart is defined by the operating system. We are not sure what you are referring to with regards to the "chart drawing size is far to big". Can you give us more information on what you mean by this? For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

Can you see in the image provided that the borders and control bar looked ridiculously zoomed in, The resources you provided have fixed many of the issues I had. However, I think the problem is stemming from a the config files that I have copied over from one machine to another could this possibly have to do with the overall scale of sierra chart? And is there a way that your aware of that can fix the border issue |

You can go to General Settings 4 tab and at the bottom of page reduce the width of the connectivity icon(green bar). That should show a lot more of your control bar icons.

Window border width is controlled at the operating system level. There is no setting anywhere in Sierra Chart to control this. And the size of the control bar, relates to the size of the fonts used with the control bar. And yes, we forgot about what post #5 is saying. We will write up documentation for that.

Could changing the display resolution make the control bar smaller? I’m running SC on a Mac using Parallels. When I first got it going the control bar was huge and other issues. I ended up changing the display resolution to 1600x900 I think and that helps a bunch. You’ll end up having to resize other fonts probably. |
