Description Fernando M. Muniz 2025-01-30 17:07:36 UTC
The UI shows the base of the base (bottom) of my notebook monitor to the right, but when applying it, the base (bottom) of the monitor goes to the left.

If I'm just wrong, I would like to request dynamic arrows to tell the user what direction and how much the monitor will rotate in relation to what it currently is set.

90º Counter-Clock wise.

I thought this could be a "compensate this monitor position" instead of a "rotate into this direction", HOWEVER the infotip/tooltip confirms it is supposed to be a rotation button.

This is actually intentional; the idea is that the icon shows the physical orientation of the screen itself (so you can accurately pick which one to click) rather than the virtual orientation of the content on it.
