Rotated layout
« on: September 11, 2009, 10:53:39 pm »
When I rotate my layout in Mala to a 'vertical' position I lose video, marqee, and the picture.  All I have left is the list of actual games.  I suppose this is probably intrinsic to the layout I'm using.  Are there layouts that do what I am looking for?

Well, I'm kinda vague on your info, but you need both a vert and horz layout in the same set.  A horz layout will not just automatically rotate everything in vert mode.

You can see what is going on if you load a horz layout in the layouteditor and then switch the orientation.  What shows in the editor is prolly what youre gettiing in real life:  no pics, just blank with the text floating.

What you want to end up with is a layout with <layoutname>V.mll and <layoutname>H.mll in the same folder (or something similar).
