Landscape for DVDs else portrait

spunker88

If you have a keyboard, then use landscape. It utilizes screen space when browsing the web, since you get that wider 4x3 (just like desktop monitor) resolution.

Some programs force me to use portrait, and when im not using my kb, im always in landscape, since sips take too much space in landscape.

How do you get rid of those bars? I'd love to do that.

I wish I could specify Landscape or Portrait mode on a per application basis. For example, I'd love to use Spb Insight (great RSS reader) in Landscape, but Agenda Fusion works best for me in Portrait.

I wish I could set Settings->Screen to PORTRAIT, but whenever I fired up certain applications (like Spb Insight) that they would go right-handed Landscape.

Anyone know how to accomplish this?

I think you can do it using mortscript, with a bit of programing skill.

Portrait except for typing and movies.

Usually work in landscape, AutoCAD most of the day. Pocket CAD on the Ax.

Outside of AutoCAD, it's the portrait except when viewing movies on the Axim.

Based on this comment, I configured one of my hardbuttons to rotate the screen and it's an acceptable workaround. Thanks!

The letters look weird and all the menus seem to draw slower in landscape. I use portrait unless I'm playing a landscape game or watching a video.

Yea I have one of my hard buttons designated to Rotate Screen. I mostly use my Axim for GPS now which I run in landscape. Since I drive alot for work, it normally just stays in landscape. I can rotate it quickly in case some program doesn't run right.

I personally like the start menu layout of landscape mode vs portrait mode. I like how it only displays 5 icons across the top vs listing 10 of the last programs icons and names. It makes the start menu look messy.

I personally have to vote landscape, because of my ripboard landscape layout.
