Re: Screen Rotation on ppc2003

It is a standard feautre in the Kernel, windows CE, all those programs (nyditot etc.) do is change the resolution setting, using a standard API in the system, there is no control panel to access it from the Pocket PC though. Next, it runs a driver which compresses the resolution, allows you to pan and scan, and converts the very edges into draggable regions to navigate, while floating a little control for you.

I haven't tried 2003 yet, I use Nyditot on 2002 and it works great. The driver, though, probably needs to be re-implemented.

As for the font being screwed up, what sounds like is happening is that the scaling is happening, but the resolution is styaing the same, the system thinks it is in landscape, so the cleartype shadows are in the position they would be if it were landscape mode.
