I'm not able to use or view the complete chartbook I created on a Desktop computer, on my Laptop. Are there any ways to improve usability of Sierra Chartbooks and Dom on a Laptop computer?

Are both systems running the same version of Sierra Chart?

My guess is that the resolution of your desktop monitor is different (greater) than the laptop. This would not be a SC issue, as it will happen with all apps. I believe, when SC saves a chartbook, it saves each windows locations. If you your laptop does not have the ability to go to that high of a resolution, then part or even all of a chart will be off your display. Here is one URL that shows how to 'find / get back" missing windows (charts) https://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows/bring-misplaced-off-screen-windows-back-to-your-desktop-keyboard-trick/ Hope this helps, JohnR

I eventually got all fonts at a good size [for me] on the dual monitor setup which is a resolution of 2560x1440 scaling to 125% when i install onto laptop which is 3840x2160 and recommended scaling of 300% the font in the watchlist is too small to read. Ive adjusted all the other fonts to suit this resolution. I have the watchlist on the control bar. How can i change the font size on that?

Hi, late answer...but maybe it helps someone who drop here like I did. I had the same mess every time I moved between my desk with 5 screens and my travel setup, so I wrote a small free study for it... You save the layout once for each screen setup and when the chartbook opens on that setup (or you plug a monitor in or out) every chart and the DOM go back where you put them. If a monitor isn't there, its windows go to the main one, so nothing stays off screen. It doesn't touch fonts, so it won't help with the watchlist from #5...but if you sync only the Data folder and not the whole SC folder, fonts stay the way you set them on each computer. I'm the author (TradeRecall, the journal I'm building), but the study works on its own: https://traderecall.app/tools/sierra-chart-window-layouts/?from=sc-board-76697 S.
