Yeah. Unfortunately, unless stuff adapts, it won't be usable in portrait.

The launcher is usable, though.

This is seperate from this app, but yes. It should do. Note though that you can't rotate all four directions with that.

awesome app! cheers man i needed this to use the n900 on my mountain bike, makes it easy to change tracks on the media player widget straight from the pocket. btw the only time this app has rebooted is when i don't put it back to the original way up before lock'n the screen. cheers again

Do I understand your screeny correctly? Do elements on the desktop like icons and the calendar widget rotate as well?

BTW, I often wondered if only certain elements with in some of the "uglies" rotated, they could be quite useful in portrait. The obvious example would be media player. Just auto rotating the cover art would be a start but if the block that shows playlist or now playing also rotated the rest of the controls wouldn't need to.

The same could be said for some other apps even the browser. If the browser content rotated but hildon status notifications and access to the status apps remained, that wouldn't be that bad. I use Sygic Maps this way in portrait.



The side bar gives me quicker access to other programs via quick launch rather than the current "Bogus bar" in browser portrait that requires a bunch of steps in order to start another app while keeping the browser open with the current page loaded.



Yeesh, i just read that^ and even I get confused.
... so I had some images and I hope it now makes better sense.

I don't mean to take any focus away from your fantastic accomplishment. Time is now tight and I have been wanting to add that idea to any discussion about rotation for awhile now. Thanks for the opportunity but most of all thanks for the continuing efforts.

Make sure you have v0.1-4 - earlier versions didn't work.

And then... rotate your phone
