george seifert Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 Since I switched to LV 2009 the controls on my front panel display differently on PCs other than mine. For instance, in a text box the character spacing is different. The system font size and the display settings are exactly the same. Also all the alignments for text boxes on my block diagram are off since switching to 2009. I'm not sure where to start looking for the source of this issue. Any ideas? George Quote Link to comment

George Just a guess, but perhaps the Default Application Font is not the same on all machine. You can test this assumption by making sure the labview.ini file contains the same appFont value for all your machines. Quote Link to comment

I don't even have that entry in my ini file. Also it happens when I build an exe and use it on another PC. George Quote Link to comment
hooovahh Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 We had an issue where on one machine the color of a font was black, and on another machine it was white. And another issue where the block diagram was white on one machine, and black on another. Part of the issue was that the developer of the code was using the Zune theme for XP. Apparently this screwed with the application color, and someone set the color to application white instead of 0xFFFFFF. I'm sure you've thought of this, but are you running any non-standard themes?

george seifert Posted January 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 I double checked all the settings on both computers and they're exactly the same. I've attached a Word doc that shows how the screens differ on a little example screen. I also included the VI in case anybody would care to load it and see if it looks right on their screen. font test.doc font test.vi George Quote Link to comment

Cat Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 Monitors are the same? I've had to go back and redo spacing/alignment since the latest batch of laptops we got in are widescreen and that messes everything up. Quote Link to comment

I've had to go back and redo spacing/alignment since the latest batch of laptops we got in are widescreen and that messes everything up. The last test I did was on a PC with exactly the same monitor. All the settings I could find were the same. It's done the same thing on different monitors too. George Quote Link to comment
