Wow, canola2 is pretty awesome in portrait mode; the menus look pretty iTouch-esque, but the now playing menu is all messed up, though nevertheless awesome!

i installed the status bar plugin and it rotates again , but it will not rotate by either button for me with powerlaunch installed. i knew the power key wouldnt work , but it wont rotate with the home key now either

Yes, because powerlaunch disables mce. Try reinstalling sliderotate, but i would advise against that - you won't like it.

I will install powerlaunch again tomorrow and find a way to have these two play nice.
I did try it once, but had issues with keyboard ligths, so I uninstalled powerlaunch, since I did not have the time to see into the problem.

For powerlaunch, at least your original method of rotating the screen could be implemented in a slightly different way.

common.conf

Quote:

# the following power key handlers are designed to be overriden if desired
key_press_power = call key_power
key_release_power = if $powerkey_short common.ui.show powerkey_long_release
powerkey_long = softpoweroff
powerkey_long_release = softpoweroff
You could change powerkey_long= softpoweroff to something like exec "xrandr -o left"

Of course other changes would be needed but it's a start.

i uninstalled sliderotate and reinstalled and dont see anything wrong , but it still wouldnt rotate by the home key... im uninstalling powerlaunch anyway since i have no keyboard lights or LED lights now.

P.S. still waiting on someone to answer if the know how to take the word "Home" off the top of the screen

I know it won't happen, but I would love the statusbar icons to move the the unused area on the lower left when portrait mode is enabled, that would solve the problem too and be quite a bit cleaner.

I agree with brontide...
I saw a portrait post in show off your screenshots with the app icons on the top of the screen... asked how it was done, and was told to drag the bar to the top of the screen in portrait mode. Tried to do that, but nothing happened... Have to figure this out sometime.
