I have almost completed my desktop setup as of now, I have a couple of questions.
1- Which is the best way to make the actual desktop (locked in portrait) landscape-friendly?
1-1- let’s say I wanted to keep all the panels (actually sidebars) in the same place, with the icons rotating, can I do it?
1-2- if instead I wanted to rotate the panels, can I set a different grid size and config (of the panels) for landscape only?
2- Which is the best way to handle wallpapers?
As of now I did not find an option to automatically stretch it to the desktop size. The only way is putting the pixel size of the screen. It could be fine enough, BUT:
2-1- having panel sidebars implies a shift of the image to the left, making it hard to center it in the middle (I could use some live wallpaper of sort, but I don’t know any, suggestions?)
2-2- if I wanted to make the wallpaper scrollable I would have to make the right pixel count for it not to get cropped (=annoying), any workaround?
Sorry for the long post, just trying to pull the last bits together.

Like I told Chris Chastain yesterday, the best LWP I found for customizable pictures is https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.shirobakama.imglivewp
Try it out at least.

Much obliged
EDIT: gave it a try, works well with still background and allows automatic changing, but when scrolling has a strange glitchy overscroll animation that triggers at each single stop point I have set. Thanks anyway.
RE-EDIT: it has a twin app, “image 2 wallpaper” that is flawless in this regard. Case closed for the wallpaper part.

Never tried it on LLX (probably won’t work) but I used it on Apex and it was great. Holla back if you try it and let me no if it works.

Jay M the app seems to work also with LLX (haven’t checked thoroughly because I don’t have many screens). The only thing also with this one is the overscroll effect at each stop point that is a bit frustrating.
Great one though, thanks!

Regarding rotation, +Chris Chastain made a very good suggestion: when locked in portrait (or landscape), if the item is rotated, apply the dual position option anyway, even if the desktop does not rotate. I am not sure if this can be done but this could work.

Pierre Hébert I’m not sure I understood the suggestion and the idea behind.
Personally I find the recent rotating option almost perfect when keeping the panels fixed, the problem is that for every rotating item its swipe gestures rotate too.
I’m trying to find a way to keep the swipes fixed, or being able to setup different swipe gestures per item, depending on portrait/landscape.
I hope I explained the basic idea decently enough

Elia Vardanega I like that the swipe remains the same relative to the phone. What I expected from this superb feature is more customization like smoother rotation, always on rotation and custom speed and maybe the ability to have an additional border for items that does not rotate.
