Hey folks, correct me if I am wrong but gabe Aul did asked us to poll on landscape homescreen for win 10 mobile. It's been a while ago .... What happened on this ? Is that coming ?
I don't remember a poll.
I do want landscape for the start screen and other apps.
Yes it was done
This is the kind of thing you need to mention on the feedback app on your phone. You won't get a definitive answer here at the moment.
but obviously it doesn't look like it is a top priority either
True. I would like to them to fix the music controls' inconsistency and inefficiency first more than this.
I thought we had all the Bug Features we needed. Or are these Feature Bugs?It's likely to come in redstone. This build cycle they were focusing on a lot of bugs. Next build cycle is apparently going to focus on features + bugs.
Just because you think it will be like this doesn't means it has to be like this....there are WAY too many ways you could design a new form factor ( landscape mode ) . I leave this job to professionals but for just an idea , how about homescreen splitting in two parts , one traditional startscreen and other fastlane type screen ( used to be in nokia x series)....just an example.....Can anyone offer a logical, useful reason for landscape mode on the Start screen?
It just seems like a waste of time to me, and implementation seems sketchy. Imagine a Start screen with many apps and folders, it would take 2-3 times longer to scroll in landscape than portrait and groupings will almost certainly move around when switching between the modes - just as it did in 8.1 with tablets.

Honestly before continuum I thought landscape start screen was a waste of time, but with continuum in order to have the same style start menu as I'm desktop I think a landscape start screen could be important.
