You need to change your approach to layout design and make it fluid. Basically, you need to do the application resolution-tolerant. Use docked layout, with the use of Dock and Padding properties, forget about any kind of absolute positioning or sizes. Please see my past answers to get some ideas:
Zom Out malfunctions when Screen resolution changes[^],
how to dock button so that it can adjust with the form[^] (a minimalistic code sample here).
