{quote} Oh, and not sure if I said I use a VPS to run MT4 but that just pulls the res from the laptop, so.... ugggh

It might not be a simple fix.

Have a read here, and maybe contact this site with your issue to discuss it in more detail.

{quote} I tried, but the .ex4 files don't show up... yea I can't get to the code. Thanks anyways...

look like you have more than one problem.

MT4 runs in your PC and the resolution of your PC.

if you cannot find the .ex4 file, then when you installed your MT4, run it in portable mode. this way you avoid using the Windows roaming directories .

This is old, but I found the fix for my problem above.

How it’s done:

  1. Right-click the shortcut icon of application (MT4) you want to adjust
  2. Select ‘Properties’ (If the icon is in the taskbar, you will have to right-click the second app icon)
  3. Select the ‘Compatibility‘ tab
  4. Select ‘Change high DPI settings‘ at the bottom of the tab
  5. Check ‘Override high DPI scaling behavior‘ at the bottom
  6. Select ‘System (Enhanced)‘ from the drop down
  7. Select ‘OK‘ and then ‘OK‘ again to apply
  8. Launch the application to see the difference

If the it still doesn’t look right you can try some of the other options from the drop down:

  1. Application | This will use the monitors DPI settings.
  2. System | This will do will magnify everything. You may get blurriness.

I found these instructions on the web, after searching for days. I thought it might help someone else with the same problem.

@Shazzie Thank you so much. I tried to get my templates work on my new computer and 4k monitor. I was fiddling with it for hours! Now the issue is fixed. Thanks again
