User interface on different resolution monitor

I did select VI Properites--> window size --> Maintain proportions ... and Scale all objects,
But I think the problem is the fonts size is fixed, so even before I build executabe file, I resize the VI window, I will see the objects are all messed up (see attachment)
This should be a pretty common problem. Anybody know a solution?
Thanks,
DG

Greetings!
Which version of LabVIEW are you using? I tested the same with
LabVIEW 8.2 with the VI properties to scale enabled and maintain proportions
enabled. I was able to make an executable of the following VI and tried
modifying the windows size and it resized accordingly. I also moved it to a
lower resolution monitor and played with the window size and did not notice the
behavior.
If you are using LabVIEW 8.2, can you please post a simple application and
mention the steps with which you were able to reproduce the issue with LabVIEW
8.2. We would most appreciate that.
Thanks much and hope this helps
Best regards

Cine 30" raedon x800xt and an addidtional (different resolution) monitor

I have a G5 with a 30 inch cine display and a radeon x800xt video card. I would like to get an additional 19 inch monitor to use as a tool pallate. I am not schooled on video cards, but can I add a second monitor of a lower resolution.....(again i am only using to park tool pallates)....and have the video card recognize two different resolution settings.

The X800 can handle two monitors, with independent settings for resolution. The DVI port can handle a display up to 30" (2560 x 1600). The other port (ADC) can handle up to 23" (1920 x 1200).
If the second display is not ADC, you will need an adapter, either ADC to DVI, or ADC to VGA. (ADC to DVI, followed by DVI to VGA, won't work, because most ADC to DVI adapters don't pass the analog video signals needed for VGA.)

Why is my user interface monitor resolution dependent?

The user interface I created with Labview is screen resolution dependent. That means I built a user interface application exe on my computer. But when I run the exe on another computer with lower resolution, the application window was enlarged and some of the controls were cut off. I have had the problem all the time and it bacame a famous issue in our engineering group . By the way, I didn't check any box in the VI Property\Window Size window. Can you help me to fix this problem?

I use Labview 7.1.1 and had this issue, the fix is under VI Options.. goto Window Size and check "Maintain proportions of window for different monitor resolutions", there is also a check box for "Scale all objects on panel as the window resizes".
Give these a try they should work for you.

Multiple monitors, duplicate user interfaces

Hey everybody,
My application consists (as the title suggests) of a computer running 4 touchscreen monitors. Three of the monitors will be completely different, but the 4th will need to be a combination of the other 3. The 4th is bigger, so it will actually fit all of the front panel from monitor 1.
Here is a depiction of what the setup will be.
The hard part is that I need Monitor 4 to act exactly like the other monitors in its respective sections. It would be nice to be able to do this without duplicating code or having to send my data to multiple places every time. Do any of you have experience in UI duplication, or know of a clever way to do this?
What I'm thinking I'll have to do is create a new interface for the 4th monitor that triggers the other user interfaces and vice versa. The downside is that it takes extra development on top of the UIs I already have and if I change something with the first 3 UI, I have to go in and change the 4th manually. I would also have to do some fancy global event triggering LIKE THIS in order to communicate between two different VIs.
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thank you!

GerdW,
My architecture follows a Queued Message Handler structure and allows communication between each module.
Can you elaborate on "duplicate FP"? Is there a way to duplicate just the FP for control purposes, but have the code only running once in the background.
johnsold,
Each GUI is it's own top level Queued Message Handler that sends its information to seperate QMHs through shared API. Essentially this means that each module has its own Master portion that can send its data to another module's Slave and vice versa. This architecture would allow for near-simultaneous user inputs from different locations because the first one to be written to the queue would just get handled first, then overwritten by the other, which isn't a problem.
Can you link to an example of pulling a VI in to a subpanel while simultaneously running another instance of the VI? Every time I try this, I get an error.
Edit: Thanks David

How do I fix incorrect resolution for Firefox user interface on Retina display Mac?

I have a 15" retina display Mac (roughly a year old) running Mountain Lion. A couple weeks ago the user interface in Firefox seems have switched from using the normal zoom level of every other application to the native dpi of the retina display monitor. This means that the UI elements are all extremely tiny, etc. Is there anyway to reset this without simply reinstalling or reseting the rest of my configuration?
Currently running Firefox 27.0.

You can try to modify the gfx.hidpi.enabled pref on the <b>about:config</b> page (<=0: disable; 1:all screens same res; >1:enable always).

Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox (you need to close and restart Firefox).

Auto-Detect Screen Resolution Does Not Work Across Multiple Monitors With Different Resolutions

Hi,
The Acrobat Pro DC (15.007.20033.2203) auto-detect screen resolution feature does not work with multiple monitors at different resolutions. Acrobat looks fine on my hidpi primary laptop display (Razr 14" 2014) but is completely unusable if I drag or extend the application to a standard HD resolution secondary monitor. Dragging Acrobat from my primary desktop display to the secondary display causes the UI elements to become 2x as large as they should be and makes Acrobat unusable.
Is there a way to make Acrobat auto-detect the display that it is currently on?
Thanks!
-Donald

To prevent it from happing again, you can
1. go to the Mouse preference and turn off the scroll zoom feature.
2. go to the Universal Access preference and disable the zoom features.

Implementing 2 Different User Interfaces

Hi all,
i have implemented an application that communicates with a certain type of
digital camera, now there is the demand to support a second type of
camera with a slightly different user interface. My question is, can i use the
code that i already have (something like the DLL concept in Windows, i
believe its called creating my own framework in Mac OS X) and just switch
between interfaces when i detect the second type of camera?
This brings up the question of using 2 different ViewControllers as well.I am
not sure how to go about that at all. Can anybody give me some pointers?
Thank you very much!
Best Regards

CS6 Hi Resolution Screen User Interface Problems

I have a new Lenovo Yoga 2 laptop which has a native resolutions of 3200 x 1800. When I install the CS6 suite on this laptop, the user interfaces are too small to be seen.
Here are some screen shots. Oddly enough, inDesign is the only application that looks proper.
Photoshop
Illustrator
Dreamweaver
InDesign
I've tried to find a solution to this but I can only come up with "Retina" based fixes... Have you guys made these fixes for PC users?

I have the same computer and have patiently waited for the fix.... what a waste of time!!! This is absolutely incredible that a company that wants to compete in the graphic software market will not support resolutions which are rapidly becoming the standard... ADOBE your non-support is an absolute disgrace to your customers that spend money on your software....

Connect 2 externa monitors with different resolutions?

Is it possible to oonnect 2 external monitors, with different resolutions to a mbp pro?
I've read some about the "matrox solution", but that one requires that the monitors uses the same resolution.
And, just to be clear, I don't want to just duplicate the screens, one should be primary.

You may want to phone OWC and ask whether what you want to do is possible if one monitor is connected to the mini-Displayport and the other is connected to a USB port using this adapter:
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/VIDU2DVIA/
Note that the OWC adapter, like most USB video adapters I've seen advertised, is limited to a maximum resolution of 1600 x 1200, so you won't want to use it with a monitor whose native resolution is higher than that.

Active-Active Failover when different contexts monitor different interfaces

I'm trying to understand the relationship between failover groups and contexts, however it appears that the configuration is split in an way that I am having trouble understanding.
The interfaces that you actually monitor are configured PER CONTEXT e.g.
ciscoasa/ConextA(config)# monitor-interface inside
But the number of interfaces that need to fail for failover to take place is done PER FAILOVER GROUP e.g.
ciscoasa(config)# failover group 1
ciscoasa(config-fover-group)# interface-policy 1
(from the system context)
If my laptop could take it, I would spin up a test environment in GNS3, but I think the best way to ask the question is to give an example. What would happen in the following setup:
OPTION 1
OPTION 2
Thanks in advance

You would never have a scenario where, as you put it, the Admin context would monitor Gi0 and ContextB also monitor Gi0. This is because you need to assign the interface to a specific context and once it is assigned to one context it can not also be assigned to another...unless you have configured subinterfaces, then those subinterfaces can be split up and assigned to seperate contexts. But one interface or one subinterface can not be assigned to more than one context.
Now, if you have failover groups configured and an interface on one failover group dies, then only the context that the interface belongs to will failover to the standby failover group.
The following is a good article to have a read through on the Active/Active failover functions:

User Interface Fonts (CS4)

My wife just got a new PC and a 23.5" widescreen monitor. It's great, but with the high pixel density of the screen (1920x1080), DW CS4's fonts in the menus and other user-interface items are really small and hard for her to see. Windows 7 has a way of setting on-screen fonts to a larger size, which works in most programs, but (unsurprisingly) not in DW.
I think from past discussions that I recall that this is pretty much a lost cause, but since we're thinking of upgrading to CS6 when it comes out, I'd like to know if this situation has been remedied even in CS5 or CS5.5?
With the increase in screen densities this is getting to be a real issue, and it's just not good practice to render these fonts at what is essentially a fixed pixel size. We're also not getting any younger (I'm in my 60s), and it's not fun to have to strain to see what's on the screen.

User Interface (GUI) fonts like menus and such are set in Windows in the advanced Display settings, even in Windows 7.
That won't (or it may - I don't know) increase things like items in the Files panel, but you can set a larger size and different font for other menus.
The Code panel can be adjust infinitely in the DW preferences.
I work on a 1024X600 netbook and a 1440X900 19" monitor, but I still keep the resolution as high as I can get it, even though I need my glasses to see it.

Archived User Interface Fonts. Ooops. Now What?

I was adding and subtracting some fonts from my master fonts directory and archived some fonts that are used in Photoshop, specificaly in the "Preferences" section. Now the text is blank in the preference section. What fonts are used there so I can restore them? It looks like this:

Muse 2014.3 update has an over-sized user interface.

The Adobe UI Scaling bug has reared its head again, this time with Muse (like with previous versions of PS, AI and ID before it). See screen grab that makes my 22" HD look like an old 12" monitor (see pasted at half resolution below).
I don't see anyone else with this issue posting, but I'm sure it's just a matter of time. Any suggestions? Do I have to go back to the Windows Environment settings again? I set it to =1 to fix one of the other applications a while back.

Sounds like your Win machine is set to run at 125% scaling (or thereabouts), is that right? Or do you have multiple monitors with different native resolutions, and the "one resolution to rule them all" setting engaged?
Previous versions of Muse would ignore the 125% scale factor and run at 100%.
The new release of Muse (2014.3) also does not support running at 125%, but can run at 150% and 200% scale factors. Muse 2014.3 chooses to run at 150% in this case. For many people with vision impairment or eye strain issues 150% is a better choice than staying at 100%, but we understand it may not be best for everyone. At 150% the cursors will be oversized as you describe (using 2x cursor artwork), but everything else will be drawn crisply at 150% scale.
In the short term, we can add support for an environment variable override similar to what InDesign and Illustrator used (see Application user interface too large | Windows). Would that address the problem for you?
One question, would it be better for you if Muse, InDesign and Illustrator all obeyed the same environment variable override, or would it be better if Muse used a different one? Now that ID and AI have exposed a user preference setting for UI Scaling (see InDesign's below), it might be better if Muse used a different environment variable so as not to override the user preference in AI and ID.
We will aim to add a similar Win-only user preference for the next release of Muse.

Panel not resizing for high-resolution monitors

Received this in an email from a person using an HTML5 panel: "What I'm seeing on a high resolution monitor (3840x2160) is that the panel doesn't resize to fit its container."
The container for the panel is appears to have scaled up, but the panel itself is tiny within this container.
The pixel dimensions on which the panel was built (and what's coded into the HTML for the panel) makes the panel the correct size on "normal" monitors, but it doesn't appear to up rez for high-resolution monitors. The user can scale the rest of Photoshop's menus and panels using some interface in the OS, but the panel doesn't scale.
Anyone have any thoughts on this weather or not it's possible to get panels to up-rez for high-resolution monitors?
Thanks.

Why is there no scaling for high resolution monitors in Adobe Bridge CC?
Photoshop CC, Illustrator CC and Indesign CC have 200% scaling…
Inconsistency between or among applications in the artificial "suites" should come as no surprise.
The "suite" concept is a fabrication of Adobe marketing and bean-counting types. The engineering teams are totally independent of each other, they are not only in different buildings but in different cities and states of the American Union, even in different countries.
The fact that they have little if any communication among them is highlighted by requests occasionally made in these forums by top Adobe engineers to let the other teams know when there are problems in one application that impact our workflow in another one.

UI (User Interface) text size and colors

Recent versions of Elements (7, 8, 9) have changed to a user interface which is predominantly shades of gray and black with few if any user options for color or font. The font size cannot be altered because Adobe use their own pixel-based font which is not compatible with Windows Desktop settings. So on many flat screens with high resolutions the font becomes almost unreadable. The upper case 'E' in the menu bar Edit for example, is a mere 2.03mm high on a 22" display at 1920x1080 resolution.
This has been mentioned a number of times over these releases to no avail, but at last there may be a change on the way for PSE 10 (later later this year?).
So if you feel the gray/black UI needs attention I suggest you visit
http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/my_eyes_need_help_with_photoshop
where there are a number of comments. This is monitored by Adobe so may influence the next release. The more request there are I suspect the more likely some action. Adobe have already commented: "The amount of conversation that this thread has generated among Elements customers was unanticipated." on the thread.
If you wish to place a comment you will need a Photoshop Account and to be logged in. If you didn't create an account when you installed the product then just click Create Account at the top of the link above.

Font sizes are hard-coded in teh apps and there is no way to change that. The new CC versiosn support high-DPI displays and resolve those issues (mostly).
