See, if only the remote display could be aligned with the upper edge, I would have more space for virtual gamepad buttons with less display area covered by my thumb.

Describe the solution you'd like

ability to set the display alignment to upper edge, lower edge, or middle (as is currently the default).

Describe alternatives you've considered

none
