Thank you misstina_sm

But your solution has two disadvantages:
- The Images in the design still need adjustment.
- If we still want another (left to right) language to be available as an option, we have to find a way to make the design direction a dynamic attribute, means it should depend on the option of the language.

I have some Ideas for this and will try to do and publish it after making sure that no one has done it.
