I'm having trouble trying to fit the front panel of my code onto other computer screens. When I build the front panel I'm using a 18"x12" monitor. But when I build an executable and bring it to another pc with a smaller screen I have to move the sliders around to see anything. Is there anyway to uniformly shrink everything down so that it will on smaller screens? I've tried the Maintain proportions of window for different monitor resolutions and Scale all objects on front panel as window resizes within the VI properties and it doesn't seem to work. (It makes everything overlap each other) Does anyone have any suggestions? I'd appreciate any help you may have.
Thanks!!

Scaling the front panel objects with window size does not scale the fonts of the object. So it will overlap if the window is small enough. So I guess you need to adjust all font sizes... But I think its not worth the work. I would suggest to design the front panel according to the smallest display where the VI could run. On large displays I would leave the window small. Scaling the window would not resize fonts and thus look not very good. Designing a good appearing scalable front panel for different monitor resolution is not trivial.
