That was what I meant, but then explained in proper words. Thanks

i say independant desktops are better (if it can be done.. may take a little longer to redraw) this is mainly so that i can have my arrangments different to look better on the two orientations (some arrangements might have icons go to a different screen, hence will need two seperate portrait/landscape dekstops)

also with things like OMweather, i have it the width of my entire desktop, i would like to change the settings of this widget or use another widget on portrait.

I'd say two separate configurations may be needed.. the qbw flipclock is a collection of widgets arranged on top of each other in a specific order - would the arrangement algorithm be able to cope?

In any case I would happily test it out and report the results in detail

Uploaded updated version of my Qt based CSSU Transitions Tuner few minutes ago. It has some error handlings done better and also re-arranged the UI to fit more into Maemo specs.

I still can't get the damn application to work properly in portait mode. Please someone with knowledge; grab the source and help me out

Yes it makes sense, but if the widgets aren't visible the first time it rotates, how can you re-position them?

Nevermind..I re-read it and you said the same thing. My bad...

so......here is what has been happening since i first posted about the omweather widget forcing desktop portrait rotation.

after a while it stops rotating to portrait, but, if you go into settings of omweather from widget and change from marina theme to coffee theme or anyother theme the widget has, rotation starts up again.

Does that make sense? can anyone here figure out why its doing that and how to keep it in portrait all the time?i really dont need to have more than one desktop and i kinda like the way it is now.

Modified UI file. Reduced "single/double colum style" removing style word or it couldn't fit in and moved the buttons to bottom.

I'm not so good using designer, I mainly hardcode, but I think you should put the main layout with rightclicking the widgets and selecting "lay out". If you check on the top right there were red symbols in your widgets meaning there were no mainlayouts set.

Labels are too long in portrait mode, the longest ones may be cut a bit with abbreviations or a smaller font may be used.

EDIT: I'm not able to attach a rar file... When I close the attachment window there is nothing added...
RE-EDIT: Didn't know rar archives weren't supported, fixed.
EDIT+1: Instead of using label+checkbox, you may just put the option name inside the checkbox and save the space used by "Enabled" string.

why do we have 3 apps reading/writing the transitions.ini file?

CSSU needs to implement all these 3 apps into one menu in the settings panel. tidy things up a lot. I wish I knew linux, or even how to code.

-theme customiser
-CSSU transitions tuner
-CSSU features enabler
