Sakya, i know u have gotten this request before, but how abt adding textRotate element for DateTime widget etc. Now of course that would depend on widget size being set by user properly like in Slidetounlock case. textRotate will be rotating text b/w 0, 90, 180, 270. So basic four options should do it.

another thing i had in mind was Clock widget but i am not sure how that would work. Perhaps import one of the desktop clock widgets like yahoo weather widget was recoded.

i love the designer mode, thanks a million
