Title: Scrolling Text for 270º Dispaly
Post by: NateMac00 on March 08, 2021, 11:21:11 PM

Is there a way to use scrolling text for a vertical layout?
I tried using direction and angle callouts, but that only turned the individual letters.
see attached.

Never tried this to be honest. My vertical layout is displayed on a rotated screen, so it lists my screen as 1200x1920 instead of 1920x1200. I'll have to take a look to see what I can do in this regard.

Thank you, this is for a pinball setup and those programs require the monitors to be in landscape in the Windows Display settings.

Not only for scrolling text but to text of any kind, it does not work wen rotated... The letters rotate but they still display "horizontally"... It would be nice to have a way to show them "vertically".

That's why I added monitor rotation support in the latest executable. :)
