Hi all,
Anyone know if it's possible to have the homescreen rotate to landscape mode?
Hope it's not something HTC overlooked.
Thanks.
-changed title to landscape
Portrait mode is upright l Landscape is horizontal _
Anyway simple answer...No it wont..Installing another launcher will sometimes allow rotate on homescreen but not always, I have edited rosie on the orig sensation to rotate but none of the widgets fitted nor did the launcher buttons...
On the hero we had to use a Mytouch 3g Rom to allow rotate, Maybe wait for a new mytouch thats qHD then try porting it

Woops, knew I shouldn't have posted after having a few beers
It's a pity, it'll look good in landscape mode I think.

Did a search and found nothing. Was wondering if anyone else had a similar problem.
When I slide my keyboard open and it goes in portrait, the wallpaper is tiled and no longer stretches out a large image like it used to. Is there anyway to fix this problem?
can someone help por favor?
try changing the theme then set it back to first one

yes i remember i had a problem with this as well... and i remember swapingt the theme fixed the problem.
but i have always thought, would it be possible to use animated backgrounds?
do you mean changing the theme in the today menu? Cause that's not doing it either. It has only been doing this after I did a hard resete and didn't let the phone load all of AT&Ts stuff.
PLease help. I switched my theme between all of them and none fixed the wallpaper going into tile when I slide for the keyboard. It's still tiled

Doesn't this mean the wallpaper being used is not sized for landscape?

No, my tilt used to zoom in on the picture. I have an image of captain america and then when I used to slide it open it used to zoom in on the top portion of his body.

I can't say that I've ever actually seen wallpaper tile on WM5 or 6. I've seen poorly made themes that when switched to landscape create a border on the left and right of the wallpaper. All of the standard themes included with WM6 seem to work fine in portrait and landscape for me. Maybe we could get an attachment of the particular wallpaper causing the problem?

Yeah, i'm starting to believe that the problem is an app that ATT installed. Cause this time when I hard reset, I didn't let the bloatcrap stuff from ATT install. And I only have the problem now. Either that, or it's the new ROM that ATT put out that is doing it, which I doubt.
But you're right, the Themed backgrounds don't have problems in portrait, only my pictures I set as backgrounds do. But note that I didn't have this problem before.
Are there any CAB fixes for this? Does anyone even know what the problem is?
Try this:
Your Today wallpaper is stwater_240_320.jpg (portrait) and stwater_320_240.jpg (landscape). They are found in the windows directory. Use an image editor to edit the images how you want them to look, and then replace them. I have to copy them to my device, then overwrite them on the device as copying them from ActiveSync doesn't seem to work.
You may need to define your today wallpaper manually before those files will show up.
can you elaborate on this more? I think there's a more simple fix to it from a CAB that is installed from ATT somewhere in the windows folder. Because like I said, this problem didn't occur before until I hard resete and didn't let any of the crap from ATT load.
My other speculation is that it may be the HTC home plug in.
i have the same problem
i have 2 formats of the picture i want to use
one in landscape and the other in portrait
but if i set one as the wallpaper how do i set the other format for when i open the keyboard up
well I have found a solution, but it's tedious without the ATT stuff that used to do it automatically.
First you slide your keyboard open, and then you set it as a wallpaper. Then it will ask you to select what part you want to be displayed in portrait. You can not open the picture and then slide the keyboard, it won't work.
1. SLide keyboard
2. select picture and then set as background.
I need some help with GIMP. I have a landscape launcher png that I want to rotate but every time I rotate it the gray and black checkerd background stays up and down and I only see a little bit of the picture.
create a new image with the dimensions flipped and then move it
thanks for the reply. I'm actually not gonna do this anymore. I put the portrait launcher on my phone and it looks like poop so I have no reason to mod the landscape.
mods you can close this if you would like

After you rotate it using Layer > Transform > Rotate, you have to adjust the canvas to fit the layer with Image > Fit Canvas To Layers.
I have been using GIMP for years and am willing to help you if needed.
or for future reference, just go to image>transform>rotate and it will rotate the whole image and not just the layer
I've had this problem for the longest time and it's super annoying and I don't know how to fix it. I pick a 480x800 wallpaper and it work fine in Portrait Mode, but when I put my phone in Landscape mode it is cut off half way or choppy lookin. What I'm confused about is when you pick a wallpaper for the today screen and sense home it only gives you the option to pick just one wallpaper, it dosent give the option to pick two like one for Portrait and one for Landscape like in S2U2. Also the default wallpapers work both Portrait and Landscape, How come? whats different from the defaults then my wallpaper? I would very grateful if someone can shed some info on this.
That's easy.
Default wallpapers are 800 x 800 and these work perfect.
Just imagine - when you turn the orientation,
the picture is also turned so different part of it is cut to fit the screen.
So, in landscape the picture has to be 800 wide to fit the screen,
800 x 480 is just too thin to fill it.

Is there a way to use Beautiful Widgets in which the icons don't shrink when you go into landscape mode?
I use a Dell STREAK and I use it primarily in landscape. I have tons of real estate available and yet in landscape mode, BW shrinks the icons. It is kind of sad since they look so good in portrait mode, yet are so tiny and spaced out in landscape mode.
Any suggestions?
Anybody have any thoughts on this?
Hey lil annoyance with the homescreen and icon/widget placing. Which I understand it lines up and fits right when you hold it vertical.. I prefer using my device in landscape mode. I hate how the left and right sides you cant use for icons and so.
Was wondering if anyone knows if there is a workaround for it or if in the future a custom rom could even change that up?
I use adw ex. You can add more, the normal setting is 4x4. I increased it with adw to 6x6. That's the most I tried though because 6x6 fit well in both modes. I think any higher some would get cut off in portrait mode

Ok Ill give it a shot, low memory footprint I trust? Also would this be similar to Cookie Tab?
