Screen rotation turns web pages and images on Raspberry Pi 4

On a Raspberry Pi 4, the Screen rotation setting now turns the whole display, so web pages and images go portrait or upside down along with video.

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.
