When using the perspective power chart, is there any way to give the the pen table more room so that scroll bars don’t appear? There are 4 pens but no matter how tall I make the view, it always makes me scroll down to see the 4th pen row in the table. I want to be able to see all of them and have no scroll bars. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/d/4/d4d5e9c94ed894d1a3bc47ba2e103054795218ff.png) Thanks, Nick ---

You’ll be able to resize the pen control area in 8.1.10. ---

Hi, I am using Ignition 8.1.11 but I still can’t find the size property of the pen control area. I am able to change the size manually when I am in preview mode but it resets when I go back to design mode. Is it possible to change the standard size of the pen control area? ---

with theme.css or injection add this line will increase the max default height (default now is 150) `.ia_powerChartComponent__penDataDisplay{max-height:200px}` (injection example, no need to add any styleclasses) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/8/6/8692674a1e15a012c3a26aa902a81485a817991e.png) ---

Thank you, that seems promising! However, i can’t get the change in the theme.css to work. I have previously only change the colors in theme but I guess you do the same thing when you change an object attribute. I have created a .css-file (“power-chart.css”) in my theme folder and added this code: ```auto @import "../light/palette/index.css"; .ia_powerChartComponent__penDataDisplay{max-height:500px} ``` and I imports this file in my index file: ```auto @import "./power-chart.css"; @import "./variables.css"; @import "../light/fonts.css"; @import "../light/globals.css"; @import "../light/app/index.css"; @import "../light/common/index.css"; @import "../light/designer/index.css"; ``` Is this correct? ---

You should not edit the theme.css files directly but create a new theme that imports the light theme. And use the new theme. Changes in the css files might also require a restart of the server to reload them ---

Help please, I was not able to make the solutions work. What am I doing wrong? Thank you I tried to make my own .css theme as follow: TrdTheme /\* Imports \*/ @import "./light/index.css"; .ia\_powerChartComponent\_\_penDataDisplay{ max-height:500px; } Selected TrdTheme in ![Mytheme](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/d/c/dcb6189fd7086f87dadb93bdf6a353186847e135.png) Also tries css injection in style. ![injectionCSS](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/8/c/8c6de97ce234005fd40cb3725c15bb5f651e78a3.png) ---

What i found works if if you enable advance style in styles then put this in the stylesheet.css ```python /* Direct stylesheet authoring is an advanced feature. Knowledge of CSS required.*/ @import "./power-chart.css"; .ia_powerChartComponent__penDataDisplay { max-height: 394px; } ``` ---

When using the advanced stylesheet you do not need to import.
