Im just curious has anyone seen js landscape it's pretty cool and a good idea but how would someone go about writing a landscape program for an ipaq or anoter pocketpc?

[suchiaruzu]

there is an ipaq-version and a special tool for the sh3s

[Moose or Chuck]

he developed it from a driver standpoint, it is a display driver and thats how it works.

Personally, I dont like Landscape mode. On my E-125, it looks..funny...

[Moose or Chuck]

You have to rotate the device 90 degrees you know. That should help

[jongjungbu]

Oh..right..I didn't think of that. <br>Really though, it has this...weird reflective look to it that annoys the hell out of me. Nobody knows what I'm talking about I bet.<br>Grr.<br>

[Moose or Chuck]

No, I know what you're taking about. It's the angle of the backlight, it refracts off the LCD when viewing at that angle.

[Moose or Chuck]

not for me

I have no idea what anyone is talking about. I've never had a problem with landscape mode looking weird.

[jongjungbu]

Well it just does. It could be that I'm weird but I doubt that b/c I think that the whole world is weird and I'm normal.<br><br>Last modification: JongJungBu - 06/20/01 at 22:48:09

Nope, you're weird too.<br><br>

[Moose or Chuck]

The screen looks translucent due to the angle of the back light shining across the touch screen's gradient. It's normal. But you're weird.

[jongjungbu]

It's highly reflective in landscape. I can see myself (and my surroundings) on the screen superimposed over the norm. Unless I use it in [landscape mode] in the dark, to which I won't see a reflection then. Very weird. But not me.

[suchiaruzu]

Hey, let's try something new: Let's try to make an app that lets you turn the screen 45°!!!<br>;P

Shapeshifter, I've become slightly interested in your age. Care to enlighten me?
