{quote} I see the indicator color bars are showing very faint, it's not an issue anyone has mentioned before so I suspect it is something else on your chart that is causing the problem. Try loading it onto a new clean standard MT4 chart with no other indicators and see what happens. Also check the Experts/Journal tabs at the bottom of the MT4 platform to see if any warnings have been issued.

{quote} The original Signal Bars uses Webdings font for the indicator bars so that could possibly be the problem. I have changed that font to a standard font so give this ago and see if it works? {file}

{quote} However I can see that the resolution on your MT4 is not correct, for Windows based systems the below setup fixes it with Linux I am not sure. Another option with Windows was to set the System Font size to smaller. {image}{image} {image}{image}

{quote} Hi cja, On my large, 48 inch 4K monitors, I consistently use 125% scale to help my "old" eyes see better. The default 100% scaling is too small, causing eye strain. Using 125%, this is what your tool looks like: {image} At 100%, it looks normal: {image} Would you please consider incorporating this function into your code so that it auto-scales the font sizes according to the 125% / 100% / other% scaling? int fontSizeScaledByDPI(int fontSize) export { int _dpi= TerminalInfoInteger(TERMINAL_SCREEN_DPI); if(_dpi==0) return(fontSize); // An...

Yes, that looks great! Thanks. My PC has the scale set to 125%, but it looks fine, nearly the same as if 100% scale: {image} Here is the 100% monitor scale view, which is extremely close: {image}
