When you design a VI, consider whether the front panel can display correctly on screens of different sizes.

  • Consider making the window as small as possible without crowding controls or sacrificing a clear layout. Some displays have a limited resolution, especially LCD displays and touchscreens.
  • Configure front panels to open in the upper-left corner of the screen for the convenience of users with small screens.
  • Place sets of VIs that are often opened together so the user can see at least a small part of each.
  • Place front panels that open automatically in the center of the screen. Centering the front panels makes the VI easier to read for users on monitors of various sizes.
