Bigger fonts!

[NickyD]

I don't think there's an easier way to do this... if there is, lmk.


The tiny price/y axis labels on my charts seemed to be causing me a lot of eye strain, especially on my 4k monitor. But I just learned you can customize the fonts on your charts by modifying the workplace.xml file your using! Each chart & tab has it's own font setting specified in the XML, look for these <ChartControlProperties> and <LabelFont> tags and bump that size up from a microscopic 11 to a middle aged friendly 14:

<NinjaTrader>
 <NTWindows>​
  <Chart-f6757cb0c5584431880f87fb3ac5d90b> <TabControl>
   <Tab-8b9bdcceea0f41e992ccbc2dafec4990>
    <Properties>
     <ChartControlProperties xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
      <LabelFont>
       <Bold>false</Bold>
       <FamilySerialize>Arial</FamilySerialize>
       <Italic>false</Italic>
       <Size>14</Size>
      </LabelFont>​

Inspired by the idea from user cls71 in this post where he discusses changing some other fonts, which I found super helpful:

Or, right click inside the chart and select Properties
at the bottom of the menu -- inside this dialog you
can change the font size used by your chart.

Then, save the chart as a chart template.

Problem solved.

LOL... yeah, that's easier!
