Text Formatting ⇒ thumby package and vertical text

[Faust]

I'm using thumby package for tabs and it works fine. However, I'd like to use vertical text saying "chapter #"

Using the rotating package will result in errors trying to format the text.

I can use commands like \fontsize etc. to change the appearance.
Is there a way around this to get it vertical -a hack or a change in the style sheet-

Code: Select all

\usepackage{thumby}
\thumbySides{two}
\thumbyTotalChapters{10}
\thumbyPageHeight{795}
\thumbyThumbWidth{42.5}
\thumbyForeground{white}
\thumbyBackground{black}
\thumbyNumberFormat{\Huge\textbf{$chapter  number}}
\thumbySetup

Its a perltex package and I have no knowledge of Perl.
thanks

stylesheet is included; how can I in an easy way modify it for support of vertical text?


Edit by localghost: Attaching a whole package file is not necessary at all in this case. And especially not in the code environment. A simple link to the thumby entry on CTAN is enough.
