Dear Support

I'm having issues with Version 2627 - Graphics Settings Global etc.

1) Obviously, I assume due to the changes, all of the old fonts/settings have been replaced with simply Arial and many of these are bold and huge font sizes so all need resetting.

2) I have reset all to 9 or 10; Regular; apart from the Control Bars Buttons which are 11 however I cannot find via Google or the Sierra Menu among others what 'List Box Headers are'?

3) Nor, after changing all font sizes to typically 9, 10 or 11 can I change the "Manage Chart Drawing" dialogue's Header, Button-text and text, from the default huge font. Has this been missed with the changes to Sierra's graphics?

Can you advise why all settings now referencing Arial?

Many thanks.

There are no changes that should have changed your font settings. We do not know why this has occurred to you.

One option is to try and recover your settings from a backup of your configuration file (Sierra4.config). Refer to the following for this:
Resetting Sierra Chart to a Default State / Restoring Backup Global Configuration File: Restoring Backup Global Configuration File

But, since it sounds like you have already done most of the work, it is probably easiest to just finish the changes you started.

2. The "List Box Headers" are no longer used, but is still there for backward compatibility.

3. The Manage Chart Drawings window's button and header font is controlled by the "Control Layout Window" font settings. Just be aware that changes made to this item require that the window be closed and opened again for the change to take affect.

Apologies. Its not the config file from a prior installation I've downloaded Sierra into a new folder as a fresh start. All began with default settings.

It's the new/clean installation where I was seeing all the super large fonts by comparison which I've now manually changed.

Re the Manage Charts Drawings. Yes, I needed to close Sierra Chart and restart. Now all good.

As always thank you John. Great Help.

Many thanks.
