Wallpaper Cycler: Smart Orientation
The Smart Orientation feature allows you to tell Wallpaper Cycler to only use wallpapers with certain tags when the primary monitor is in landscape or portrait mode. The Tags Support feature of Wallpaper Cycler has built-in support for the tags Landscape, Portrait and Square. When you import an image into Wallpaper Cycler, it will get one of these 3 tags automatically. This in combination with the Smart Orientation feature makes it very easy to configure Wallpaper Cycler for support of rotating monitors or tablets.
The following is a screenshot from the configuration of the Smart Orientation feature:
Tags (including the Landscape, Portrait and Square tags) can also be assigned to layouts. Everything works together as follows. Let Wallpaper Cycler automatically assign Landscape, Portrait or Square to new wallpapers. Configure the Smart Orientation feature to only use Landscape or Square tagged wallpapers when the primary monitor is in landscape mode and only Portrait or Square tagged wallpapers when the primary monitor is in portrait mode. Then you can create different layouts for landscape and portrait and assign the appropriate tags to your layouts. When Wallpaper Cycler will cycle the wallpaper, it will first check the current orientation of your primary monitor. Based on that and based on the Smart Orientation configuration, it will select wallpapers with the correct tags for that orientation of your monitor. Then it will try to find layouts with tags that match tags of your wallpaper and use that layout to render your wallpaper.
As you can see, Tags support together with the Smart Orientation feature is a powerful combination.
