Hi Support,

After a recent Sierra Chart update from my vendor, my Control Bar 1 icons changed from the pictographs (e.g. crosshairs) to text labels (CVT). I've searched and found the Control Bar Buttons Property page of instructions and taken a resoration solution as far locating a "Buttons" folder. However the folder contains numerous *.bmp files and I lack some guide table/lexicon to find the button labels I need to restore things to the pre-software update symbols. Addiitonally, I don't know for certain that this path of action will indeed restore Control Bar 1 back to the default pictographs that I'd readily recognize.

Your help here please...

Thanks,
TA User

The default is scalable text but we have put back the images for now in version 1927. Update with Help >> Download Prerelease.

I just tried the same but this did not fix the problem. Is there any other way to correct this?

Thanks,

With version 2065 the default images have been changed to text. You can change the buttons back to using the images. Refer to the information here and the link within it for how to change the buttons:

Hi Support,

Is there any way to make a button that changes all of the control bar buttons back to icons instead of having to go through every one of them? Maybe a setting that changes the default? It is inconvenient to back through every button to fix this when a software update wipes them out.

Thank you,

It only takes two minutes to change them, collectively. A few seconds per button. You just need to choose the option to "Use Image" in the Control Bar Button Properties for the drawing tool buttons that are visible. This is all.
