I send an patch for dpad rotation to the developer (jott, http://sse2.net/rotate/) and an own icon which fits very well into the other icons.

i hope he will include it in the next release. in the meantime you can request me via pm for my version of the rotate-plugin where the dpad gets rotated too.
i don't want to make it public because i want to avoid a fork of the plugin.
