Dear engineers! Please review this simple test case. 1. Detach any chart window in any ChartBook. 2. Make this chart as narrow as possible - you'll see there is a limit. 3. Uncheck "Main Menu -> Chart -> Show Title Bar". 4. Now you can make this chart even narrower than the specified limit. 5. Save and close this ChartBook. 6. Open this ChartBook again - you'll see this detached chart restored to the said limit width. So, my question is: is it possible to restore a narrow chart to its saved width if its TitleBar is hidden? Thank you! Date Time Of Last Edit: 2026-01-18 22:23:45

This behavior is just depended on the operating system. Sierra Chart has no control over it. There is nothing we can do or change regarding this. We cannot answer any further questions because all of this is dependent on the operating system. It is a question for Microsoft to answer.

@Mandel, If you just want to display some info, i.e. key levels in that narrow chart, you might want consider do it with ACSIL

@Sierra_Chart Engineering Thanx for your reply! Thus, it's possible to make windows narrow, but it's impossible to restore their size upon loading.

@Tony, Thanx for your reply, as well! Please look at my post: My time and sales windows and DOM chart are NOT restored properly on start-up It has a screenshot attached. That's why I need these narrow windows.

Thus, it's possible to make windows narrow, but it's impossible to restore their size upon loading. Yes we can confirm this is the case. The operating system does have a minimum width for a window. It is not anything that Sierra Chart has control over. Or perhaps we could override this behavior but it is not something we want to do right now. We have other priorities.

Dear сolleagues! Thanx for your reply once again! Let us reverse engineer this issue a bit. When opening a chartbook, the execution sequence is as follows: 1. Saved window positions and sizes are restored. 2. Window attributes (TitleBar, MenuBar, ScrollBars, etc) are set. As a result, a window that can be made narrow run-time with its "TitleBar OFF" becomes wider on start-up. I understand there are other more important priorities, but such a local check in the source code won't break the architecture and will require minimal QA. Thank you!
