front panel layout changes when moved to computer with lcd screen

[adamrussell]

I wrote and compiled a program in the lab, and when I moved it to production
the front panel got messed up. I guess it's because the new computer has an
lcd screen. What I have is 3 arrays with 17 elements showing on each. I
had resized the elements vertically so I could fit 17 elements on screen,
and had got the arrays close to equal length on the lab computer. When I
start up on the new computer they come up in three different positions on
screen and all 3 are moved up and obscuring some titles text I had above
them. Any advice to make my front panel neater?

Adam,

are you sure the resolution of each monitor is set the same (i.e. 800x600 or 1024x768)?
If you right click on the vi icon and select vi properties->window size you can also select to scale objects.

I believe I know a possible cause. I have noticed that the font size changes according to the windows desktop icon font size. I know this sounds wierd, but I believe LabVIEW uses this windows font to automatically size its fonts. If you have 18pt desktop icon font on your development machine, many LabVIEW fonts are associated by default with this size, so when they go to the target machine whose icon font might be 12 they appear huge.
