[Announce] Hildon desktop portrait mode
 

Please keep in mind that this is still work in progress :).

Main features of this modified hildon-desktop are:
- auto-rotation of the desktop
- widgets also rotate
- widget postion is stored separately for portrait and landscape mode
- when you enter portrait mode for the first time, you will probably have to arrange widgets in the way you like it
- each widget added to portrait mode is available also in landscape and vice versa.
- almost forgot about desktop edit mode in portrait :)

If you found a bug, please report it here.

Any suggestions and feedback welcome! :)

I saw some bugs fixed

Re: [Announce] Hildon desktop portrait mode
 

so this is newer than version released the other day in CSSU thread? thanks!

Re: [Announce] Hildon desktop portrait mode
 

Sounds awesome! Will have to try it right now! :D

EDIT:
Just to be sure: this works without CSSU or is it still needed for this package to work?

Re: [Announce] Hildon desktop portrait mode
 

my suggestion is adding numbers of version because i thought that is the same version as yeasterday ;)

Re: [Announce] Hildon desktop portrait mode
 

Don't know if this is the correct place, I would like to suggest/request an Enhanced Orientation Lock applet, which holds the name of selected programs not to lock in landscape/portrait; i.e. exception for a list of apps.

Example: Not to lock Phone app, calculator, photos and already portrait apps like some player, ncalc etc. to landscape or portrait mode.

Instead those apps are excluded from the locking process.

p.s. sorry for my english.. i'm not a native english speaker.

brilliant work. you have no idea how great this addition is...

Re: [Announce] Hildon desktop portrait mode
 

at this moment, i would like the camera apps, blessn900 and media player should always stay as landscape mode.

Re: [Announce] Hildon desktop portrait mode
 

That was suggested long time ago. I think it's in development, but I'm not sure. It's popularly known as the "blacklist/whitelist" feature.
