Wow, you need an upgrade almost as bad as I do. I'm still using a PC
with Windows 95 on it.
Here's another set of axis that've been around for a while now.
They're not as big, but they're labeled so you don't have to remember
which color is which axis.

I liked them so much I duplicated them in C code so you can see the
origin of a piece you plan to rotate. If you're really still using
ldglite you can toggle the display of the current part's rotation axis
with the command "/ta" in ledit mode.
Enjoy,
Don
