Well it'd have to be top left and top right. Given those two, top center will be determined by DrawText on it's own when given DT_CENTER alignment. Ok I think that I'm really going to have to do is make a rotated test app to see what happens. Only 'issue' here is that I am not even remotely setup here at home for writing / compiling any kind of native windows software. While I have a windows installation, use it like maybe once every couple weeks for some occasional gaming. Is there any easy way for me to do this under linux? MingW I suppose? Thanks, Stephan
