Now how exactly would that look like in portrait?
Just because some widget with wide lines you don't want to support portrait mode? We totally understand that some widgets are not meant for portrait mode... but give us the choice. If we really want that widget to act well in the portrait mode we will reduce the width and make the single line show in double lines. Dont act like apple and tell us what to do and what not. We totally understand that you had to prioritize your resources. But what we don't like is telling us to use the landscape mode only. We believe the community can easily hack rotation support and everyone will be happy. Just don't tell us what to do and what not.
