can I change the screen rotate direction?
« on: April 30, 2004, 02:09:33 pm »
First impression:  big device, gorgeous screen!  The on-the-fly rotation is very nice.  but...  being right handed, when I put the PDA into landscape mode, I usually want it to rotate clockwise, so the joystick and buttons are by my right hand.  The rotate button is sending it the other way.

Is there a way to change this?

Ah there it is, in the \"appearance\" preference.  I was poking around through all the settings, don\'t know how I missed it.  Thanks!

Slightly OT, but is there a way to do the same on a Cacko 1.21 C860?

I also mapped one of the other keys to perform the screen rotation.  The rotation will occur faster than having to hold down the backlight key.

Cacko 1.21b \"Elena\"
Symbol Spectrum 24 wifi
Pretec CompactGPS
various CF and SD cards
