Rotate the wallpaper for pivot mode

Fri Sep 11, 2009 7:29 pm
Not exactly sure if this shouldn't go into bugs.kde.org, and not on Brainstorm, because it is surely a wish, not an idea. Just thought it's better to share this on Brainstorm, because not everyone might have the same feeling as me.

I have a 16:10 LCD screen w/ pivot mode. It works great with KDE4 and nvidia, and makes web browser a much better experience. Unfortunately, it isn't exatly so when looking at my desktop. My wallpaper gets stretched vertically and squeezed horizontally. I would prefer it to work like in Windows - simply rotate the wallpaper.

What do you think? It would be even better to let a user decide, but I'm not sure if this is 'achieveable' since I don't use any KDE4 tool to rotate the screen, but nvidia's settings editor.

I like the idea. To rotate the screen, you can use the "display" module in system settings.
