Hi, when running FC10 I should be able to drag my mouse cursor to the bottom of the screen and my task bar should appear but doesn't (win11) works ok in FC9
Also when trying to rotate the display the display background rotates but the coloured component doesnt and results in any text being displayed vertically
legacy 2d panel
FC10 window and ili9341 rotation

Re: FC10 window and ili9341 rotation
I've just tried setting my taskbar to autohide and then running FC10 and the taskbar shows correctly when I move my mouse to the bottom of the screen. I am running Windows 10, so maybe this is an issue only in win11. Are any other users having the same issue in win11?
Regarding the rotation issue, there are a number of limitations in the legacy 2D panel and we don't recommend its use in v10. It is due to the mix of 2D/3D drawing technologies used as described here. One of the problems is that 2D objects cannot be rotated whereas 3D objects can. Another is that 2D objects will always be drawn above the 3D objects. For this reason, we have moved away from this old 2D "dashboard" panel (aka "legacy 2D panel") and suggest new projects use either the 3D panel or the new 2D panels.

Re: FC10 window and ili9341 rotation
Hi, I would like to add that gLCD displays have a rotation option within properties.
Just scroll down to Simulation and Physical Orientation
You can then select 0 to 3 depending on the orientation.
Not It is best to re-add the gLCD if using an FC9 project.

Re: FC10 window and ili9341 rotation
Can you be more specific? It seems to be there for me:
Is there a specific component that shows the problem? Or if it is not a simulation issue, please give more details about hardware.
Re: FC10 window and ili9341 rotation
Its the aforementioned graphic display. The symbol is entered into the print macro as text using ALT 248 and appears in the macro but doesn't simulate or appear on the screen in hardware. I'm using a proven flowcode program from FC9 and it all functions as expected except for the symbol disappearing

Thanks. If it's an issue specific with a component then Martin or Ben might know what is going on and I'll leave it to them.

Re: FC10 window and ili9341 rotation
Looking into this a bit further, there is something that might work on the device itself. Instead of "25°", can you please try "25\xb0". This will not work in the simulation, but it might show the degree symbol correctly in the hardware. Please let me know if it does.

Re: FC10 window and ili9341 rotation
This should work on hardware while we are looking into the problem.
"25\xA7"
The string Steve suggested has been tried and does not currently solve the problem.
As for rotations, there should be a "physical orientation" property for the GLCD component, you will need to change this and then also use the Orientation component macro to get the text etc to appear as required.
