Screen rotation turns web pages and images on Raspberry Pi 4

From Anthias 2026.06.1, the "Screen rotation" setting on the web interface's Settings page turns the whole display on a Raspberry Pi 4. Web pages, images and video all turn together. In this release, 90° and 270° turn a Pi 4 the opposite way to a 32-bit Raspberry Pi 2 or 3; Anthias 2026.07.3 makes every board turn the same way.

Before, only video turned on a Pi 4. Web pages and images stayed in landscape whatever you picked, as the 2026.05.1 entry that introduced the setting described.

When you save a new rotation, the viewer restarts with it, with no reboot. On the Pi 4 the viewer sets QT_QPA_EGLFS_ROTATION from the setting each time it starts.
