How to make pane resolution fit the screen resolution?

I am trying to paste picture from clipboard to a front panel, but when I do this they appear larger on the screen than I expected. VI property (Windows size) tells me that my current panel size (it is in full screen) is 1259x670 pixels. But that is not actually true. My physical display size is 2560x1600 pixels. Therefore, Labview zooms both the background image and the image I am inserting from clipboard. Therefore, it appears bigger than I expected on the screen.Of course,  I can manually decrease the picture size, but I loose the details of the picture because I intentionally decrease the pixel size of the picture in this case. How do I make Labview front panel pixel resolution coincide with the resolution of my monitor?

Hi Linkoping,

 

set the zoom (scaling) factor in your Windows screen settings from 200% to 100%…

 

(Your LabVIEW windows are scaled by Windows as LabVIEW is not high-DPI aware!)

Best regards,
