Rotating a skin 90 degrees

Post by Neeminator »

I'm new to the forums so if these topic has been resolved can someone link to the solution, I spent some time looking but found nothing.

My problem is I'm using LuaTextTime, which is a pretty simple skin that is basically a text clock, I want to get the hour portion of the skin to be vertical. Currently it would read something like sevenTHIRTYtwo. I'm trying to get it to have the "seven" flipped 90 degrees counter clockwise.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!

I am not familiar with that skin, but I would be inclined to think that the "hour" meter would be its own meter in which case you could use the Angle option.

If the hour and minutes are combined into one meter, then it would be best to split them up into two meters and use that Angle option on the new hour meter (described above). Hope that makes sense.
