Maintain object size and location at varying screen resolutions with LV8.5 - LV properties does not work

Can anyone help me with keeping objects at the correct position, font size, object size, etc.  I have LV8.5.  I have set the screen monitor proportional value in the properties of the VI, but that is not working...or at least not how I believe that it should.  I spend eons of time sizing and placing my objects, but as soon as the VI is opened on a computer with a different resolution, everything is completely scrambled and remains as such even when I return back to the original computer at the original screen resolution.  This is particularly bad beteen numeric and text objects.  The text objects will drastically change in object height.

What you are seeing is probably about as good as its going to get. I never use the automatic resizing/positioning functionality for this very reason.

 

How many objects are on your front panel? Would it be feasible for you to programatically move and size them based on the monitor resolution?
