PRT on Windows and macOS

  Hi,

  I use PRT with an IG account on Windows 10 and and on macOS Catalina (both updated to the latest version). Although the screen resolution is the same, on Windows the font dimension (and icon) is too small. 

  I tried to change the setting but, if I increase the font on Windows, the changing is inherited even in macOS, where the font is too big.

  Every time I change operative system I have to change the font settings. How can I solve this problem?

  Thank you very much in adcance!

  Why not change the resolution using native windows settings?

  I do above because I find font size too small for comfort on most screens apart from PRT.

  Since from the first launch on windows the font is too small. I tried to uninstall and install again PRT, change the resolution and zoom but without no changes…

  The monitor characteristics is 13.3’’ (2560 x 1600). Could be this the problem?

  I use 1920 x 1200 on a 28 inch monitor and I can manage without wearing glasses (I try to avoid glasses!)

  But I still find far too little contrast on most screens and so I have taken to using the Black Theme of late.

  Judging from screenshots posted on here … most use the Black Theme also.

  Did you try to save 2 templates with a different font size for each of your computer? And load the correct one for each after the startup?

  I am following this way, 2 templates, one for macOS and one for Windows, but it is complicated. I have different working plan for any market I trade, indices, forex couple, stocks. Every market has different indicator and layout.

  In attachment the screenshot when I launch PRT on Windows. Could be a problem of java or any other settings? The screen resolution and zoom seems ok, in the screenshot the dimension of the toolbar and icon is “normal”. When you launch PRT, is the icon bigger?

  What is your Font Size slider set to?

  See red arrowhead on attached for where my slider is positioned.

  When I launch PRT … attached is what I see.

  2nd attachment is better for you … as it shows my desktop icons for comparison.

  But then again I can get it more like the size you show if I zoom out to 25% … see atached.

  The above 2 screenshots are zoomed in to 100%.

  Most likely. On my 27″ PC desktop I use 1920×1080 as its max supported resolution for W10 and its perfect. On my old 13.3″ MAC i use 1280×800 for best of both worlds. I can go a lot higher but on such small display its not worth it unless you want to use binoculars for easy reading 🙂

   

  My 2 cents.

  Thank you all!
