I have buttons with associated images on them. The images do not seem to be scaling. I cannot find a means of forcing them to scale.

I use a program called Gimp to edit my pics to the correct size and then import them into Ignition.

Thank you for the suggestion. I routinely use Gimp to modify images myself. However, I am under the impression that ignition will scale the images for me should I happen to be running on a client for which the native pixel count is different from what I used in the designer. What I am hoping to learn is that there is a configuration checkbox somewhere which I need to check.

Oh I understand. Yeah I don’t think that is an available feature. I can see the need though. Good luck.
