Quoting Erebus
{quote} The screen is obviously not WIDE enough, what the heck is it, and old laptop from the 90's? {image}
Hi Erebus,
It is actually not too old , laptop 14" (?) with Intel i5 processor. But the resolution i set is only 1024x768 ... and i use Big enough Font (i got eye Problem), may be this is the problem ... ok, i will try to make the font smaller & see ...
But i am still do not understand , even there is more enough space left besides the TimeFrame icons block , the new icon is not placed at the 1st row , but in 2nd row ... (Please see 2nd image above, the M5 icon ...).

Tq
don't worry! ,but be happy...

Quoting Hknmatata
{quote} Hi Shab, Please see image below... i am not using windows, tried several time to delete icons, left only 1 icon ... and see that it is in 1 row. . But as i add another icon, it becomes 2 rows again ... Example: I left only M1 icon. As i add M5 icon, the M5 icon is not added to the right of M1 icon, but it is automatically appear below M1 icon ... I do not understand this. I tried as "pah" said , but i just can shift the whole TimeFrame icons, and the icons position is not changed ... Any idea is welcome. Thanks a lot in advance {image} {image}...
It has possibly something to do with your operating system, maybe your screen size & resolution.

Try closing down the navigator at the side, do you need that open all the time ?

That could improve our screen width.
It never gets easier, you just get better

Consider arranging those two toolbars as vertical, either stacked (as shown) or side-by-side; or one vertical, the other still at the top.

Experiment with the resolution set back to the normal maximum, then instead change the Display options "Scale". It's normally 100%; I use 125% and it makes everything larger, easier on the eyes. I don't know if it will be the same or different from you changing the resolution.

I also suggest to connect an external monitor if you can, for example, a 24in 4K monitor. Or get a cheaper TV with PC mode which they all have these days, though you might need to keep the remote control handy to turn it back on. Wiggling the mouse wakes up monitors, but not always TV's.

To say you have an "i5" processor means nothing. What generation is it? Here's mine:

My performance was the 2nd fastest when I bought it ~3 years ago, now it's 33rd according to cpu.userbenchmark.com

Here's a layout with stacked vertical toolbars. Of course the 'Data Window' is optional too.

Hi Pips,
Thank you very much for the idea ... Great, i will try it, especially the Vertical toolbars ...
About scale, actually i did the similar one (120% or 125% , so far i can remember).
About TV with PC mode, i will try to search about it too. Have a nice day ...

I didn't realize you were struggling with a low res screen, I too have to crank up the display scaling when using a smaller monitor. The best solution is a bigger screen but in the meantime you could toggle between full screen ( F11 ) and normal view which quickly gets rid of all the clutter whilst you look at the chart itself.
Best of luck.
Regards Paul
