Trouble adding extra element to carbon theme

I am having trouble adding an extra element to the basic carbon theme.
I would like to add a text line "orientation" then input horizontal or vertical manually. I have read the creating a theme wiki but I cant get it to add extra element.

any help or pointers will be appreciated.

Thanks

@subz unfortunately it isn't that simple. Metadata tags are hard coded so if orientation isn't in the source (which it isn't) it isn't an option.

@herb_fargus Thanks for the reply. I have tried a few things with no luck. If the text names are hard coded that will be the reason. Thanks.

I will just scrape meta-data then maually edit either developer or publisher with the horizontal
or vertical text.

Just a quick thought which location is a 'safe place' to avoid the metadata being over written on a system/theme update?

Thanks
