So, if you're laptop is brand new you might want to give it a day online to download and install all the updates. Good advice! Still the Aquarium will need re-installation after that.. Anyway, I have a 15.6" laptop too, but I don't find any problems with the fonts of the Aquarium's header at all.

	Thanks for all that information and the welcome. I also contacted the people at ChessOK to ask about the font size issue for the menus. They said at this time that is just the way it is in the native resolution of the laptop screen. They may work on this issue but who knows. I hope they do. Either way, I still like Aquarium.

	Hi, Swengen! Welcome to this great forum! It's strange that you have a problem with the Aquarium GUI on your 15.6" laptop. When you install a software, it usually reads the computer system you have and lays on the platform at its best. Anyway, my advice is - read the Aquarium help using the search function! For example, I searched for 'layout' and look what I got: "The Layout Menu at the bottom of the Navigation Pane allows you to restore hidden windows and save and load layout profiles. The Layout Menu is displayed by clicking on the small triangle as shown in the screenshot. The expanded Layout menu can be seen in the next image. layoutmenu2 After you have arranged the windows in the Working Area to your liking, you can use the Layout Menu to store the layout under a name by selecting Save Layout. In the screenshot you can see that the user has one saved layout, called „Big board“ which he can restore by clicking the layout name. You can always restore the default layout for any view by choosing Restore Default Layout from the menu." Searching for layout menu button, it shows: "Layout Menu button opens a menu where you can select one of the functions to control the layout of the Working Area. You can load one of the predefined layouts. The current layout can also be saved under a name chosen by the user. If one of the Working Area panels has been hidden (intentionally or accidentally) you can always restore it using the Layout Menu button." As for the fonts you can use, you'll have to browse the Main Menu Options/Display Options/Notation Styles and Indents menu. I'm sure you'll soon become an expert in this! And if the problem you have is different than just choosing various options, don't forget that there is always a 'software uninstall / install anew' option! Regards!

	Hey guys. New here. I'm not new to computer chess but am new to using a laptop. I enjoy using Aquarium on my desktop with several engines. Just loaded everything to my new laptop and the size of the fonts do not appear to be changeable. My screen size is 15.6 inches and the game looks great but at the header, the size of the menu items is painfully small. Anyone deal with this before? Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
