I am totally with you. When I open my mail in bed and I turn on my side, suddenly the whole screen flips over and I just hate it.
However, I really don't see a way to differentiate between bedtime landscape and normal landscape. Honestly, the initial annoyance and having to reorient my brain for the landscape change is less annoying than possibly having to go into a setting and disable it before it happens. Once it switches I get used to it I just don't like it at first.
- cwilson 17y agoThere are two solutions that I see, possibly three: 1. A simple option in the applications settings that allows you to turn it off completely (obviously certain games would never have this option however). 2. A toggle somewhere in the UI, I've seen a few apps do this actually. It's a temporary switch and can be done without digging through any settings. 3. Global option in Apples settings. The problem here is that many apps are built with landscape in mind so this would cause tons of issues.
- rflrob 17y agoI like option 3 the best. For the "apps that are built with landscape in mind", do they only have one setting, or do they have both, but somehow work "better" in landscape? I've seen at least one of the former, but that one defaults to landscape no matter how it's oriented, so it doesn't seem like it really asks the OS for what orientation to use.
- zefhous 17y agoI think it's somewhat doubtful that Apple would implement this, but I would like to be able to change it back with the "rotate" gesture that is used on newer Apple notebooks.
