The problem I am having is that when I rotate the whole application, the background images of the screens with BTA Design Menu become unequal to the screen size in the horizontal mode as the size of background image I am using is 320x480. Is there any way I could set rotation for only Youtube Playlist screen as I want app users to see videos in landscape mode. Any help in this matter will be highly cherished.

(if you're willing to play around with the code a little bit). In the rotation logic, you can add a condition ("If" statement) that checks the screenType. You can then test if the screen that is loading is a certain type of plugin and rotate accordingly. It becomes a little tricky because you have to find this code to tweak depending on if you have a tabbed app, or non-tabbed app. The other option is to use a 480x480 background image on your menus that looks good when rotated. Hope this helps and gives you an idea where to start. -Chris Comments The answer is: Yes, you can. (if you're willing to play around with the code a little bit).
