This reminds me of the arguments on electrical forums about lining up the screws on light switch plates. Some say vertical; some say horizontal. I just tighten up the screw until it stops.

Clearly you are not a Virgo.
ETA: My polished Provari's screws were not lined up (one an X, one a little bit off), but my black Provari's were lined up as X's. The Polished's ones are lined up now.

Gotta be vertical so dust doesn't collect in it.

I think that the Electrical Code requires that you tighten cover plate screws slowly until the plate makes a popping noise, and then you loosen the screw slightly.

You forgot to vote!
Don't see a poll on my phone.

I never looked. "Are my screws facing the same way on my screen cover" was never even close to being on my list of things to worry about.

Oh sheesh... you guys... I'm gonna be carrying a pocket screwdriver with me wherever I go now and screw with peoples switch plates - and apparently their heads too. The things I never even contemplated until I hit the Provari forum.
Maybe you should Replace those Phillips Head Screws with Torx Head Screws like the Old Provaris used to come with?

Yeah, but... points up or at an angle??
I set mine at 17.375 Degrees Off Vertical.
I do this because when I hold my Provari to do a Screw Head Inspection, the Natural Angle of my Wrist is 17.375 Degrees.
Yea well wether my screws are lined up or not, I don't care and I ain't gonna look!Yup, you don't get it
Ok.. I peeked. One lines up the other doesn't
I gotta go now. Gotta go check my lug nuts on the cars.
Not to hijack this critical topic, but does anyone else keep all their juice bottles lined up carefully, with the labels facing out?
And do you rotate your batteries?
I don't mean "take turns using them" - I mean literally ROTATE them, so that the AW sticker lines up with the fire button?

I Never thought of Checking That. No Wonder I'm getting such Terrible Gas Millage!
Not yet because they're all in a box, but once we get the rack for the wall (nail polish racks look to be the perfect thing) you can bet they will be.

Gotta link to this rack. I need something that'll hold 50ml bottles & most of the racks I've seen only hold 10ml.Not yet because they're all in a box, but once we get the rack for the wall (nail polish racks look to be the perfect thing) you can bet they will be.
Sure, here's one example:
Hanging Wood Nail Polish Rack Black NB Holds 50 Bottles | eBay
Just search for "nail polish rack" and there are tons of them. A lot of them will hold bottles two deep so I don't think 50ml would be an issue.
Just trolling along, and thought wow, look at that a screw alingnment thread.
My mom aligns screws on all sorts of things. It bothers me that she even notices that sort of thing.
At least with torx screws if aligned they would be less incorrectly torqued if you do align them.
