Enabling Bi-Directional Support

MCML sets bi-directional (bidi) support on images and user interfaces (UIs) using the Image.Flippable property for images and the Flippable attribute for the UI element.

When running on right-to-left (RTL) systems, for those UIs and images that have the Flippable property enabled, the layout coordinates for the UI are flipped across the y-axis and images are rendered flipped automatically.

By default, the Flippable attribute is true for UI elements and is false for Image objects. Typically, most images should not be flipped except when indicating direction (such as an arrow).

You can force Windows Media Center to run in RTL mode by starting it with the -rtl argument.
