Hello.

Let's start by apologizing, if this kind of thread already exists. I did do some searching and found none.

Now, I've noticed (from many) that some developers (for example MohammadAG and Matan) have made their own modifications to the Hildon-environment. We've got now portrait-status menu, portrait modest (email), portrait control panel, modified multi-tasker and we can have even up to nine (9) desktops. However, as a non-coder, I have a question.

Since these modifications are possible I'm wondering, that can we some day see a portrait for Hildon desktop? I know, Fremantle was never designed to be used in portrait, but think about it. Since the developers have already been able to do the mentioned above, why not? Sure, if the source is closed, then they can't, that's obvious. I'm just asking this from Hildon's view : how far can we take the modifications on it?

The most closest one so far would be the rotatedaemon, which does work, but it doesn't adjust the windows correctly. Then there's also the CTRL+Shift+R but it doesn't cover the whole system, it's excluding for example Hildon menu and Hildon desktop. Personally, I'd be modifying Hildon right away if I'd have the skills. Alas, I don't and I, as many others, are dependent to the developers.

So yeah, that's just what I wanted to ask.
