How to Stack Your Gamertag Using EzGt

"Stacking" your gamertag is modifying your gamertag to appear vertical instead of horizontal. This makes finding your rankings online much easier because your gamertag stands out from other players'. It's important that you are aware, though, that many gamers online do not like stacked gamertags because of all the room they take up on the screen, so you may catch some flak in the forums about it. EzGt makes creating a stacked gamertag quicker and faster than previous methods because previously you needed to modify the gamertag with two separate programs, but EzGt does the job on its own.
