    Stop loss and take profit cancel buttons size is too small (X is too small)

    Hi, how can I change the size of the x to cancel a stop loss or profit order when using the chart?
    I am on a 3000x2000 (3:2) resolution screen and the X is very small and therefore difficult to click.
    I tried to change the resolution or the scaling in windows but that did not solve the issue. Also increasing the font for the labels of these buttons does not solve the issue.

    On another topic I did read this needs to be changed in the customs Skin.
    Can you point to what parameters needs to be changed in the Skin in the xaml to increase the size of the X in the stop loss, take profit buttons?
    I only see tags related to colours of the windows and buttons of the platform.
    Thanks

    Hello marktrading,

    Thank you for your post.

    I see you have asked this question in another post linked below.
    Dear Community, I am running NT8 on parallels and win 10. Can you please advise on how to change the size of the cancel order button on chart - you know, the cross button? I thought it would depend on the resolution of the screen, but it barely does. I use external monitor in the office and I use NT8 at home without external


    As stated by Manfred, in the post linked above
    "The size of the button is based on a fixed 16x16 pixel size. As such, it would always appear in this size.

    While it is possible to modify this via Windows' scaling, it would simply upscale this, together with everything else on the screen (e.g. by making it 24x24 pixels in size), which then introduces the blurriness, as modern displays generally handle scaling pretty badly.

    While there is currently no way to modify this through the platform directly, we have a pending feature request to make NinjaTrader 8 easier to access on 4k devices. This would include a customizable cancel button."

      Any temporary hack I could attempt? Maybe change the image designing the X or something similar. It is quite impossible to click on the small X in the chart. I could make some buttons that cancel the trategy I think but that is not chart trading
      Sorry for the double post and please vote for this feature which should be quite important as all the rest of the charting and platform looks nice.
      Thanks for your help.

          The X buttons do work well on ninjatrader 7 and increase in size when the font of the label associated is increased so I am using that for now.
