Already requested in march '14, but has received only limited attention: https://together.jolla.com/question/36228/landscape-support-for-all-ui/

@rgrnetalk - The OP is not asking for landscape support, rather horizontal covers instead of portrait covers when in landscape mode. Yes, I understand that all orientations are not supported on phones.

If we use the patch from coderus to support all orientations on a sailfish phone, when we turn to landscape, the covers are arranged in portrait orientation, not landscape as shown in the image, but this is clearly to do with screen real estate being much smaller on a phone compared to the JTab.

this is a tablet on screenshot, not smartphone :)

This is also arequirement for the gemini devices (PDA/Cosmo). But at the moment many apps did also not support landscape mode :-(.

Nonsense, see below comment of myself :D

'Allow any orientation' patch by coderus? image description

Even it says compatbility ends at version 2.1.0.11 it works fine (with some quirks in e.g. settings - ambience) in 3.2.0.12

I have it installed "Default allowed orientations patch" by elros34, but it does not have the function of horizontal covers

You will not find this function in any patch.

Landscape orientation is not fully supported in phones, only in the tablet because of its screen size, as a result, differences like landscape oriented covers are not present in phone releases.

Landscape oriented covers were only ever a thing in marketing for the Jolla Tablet. The idea must have been changed at some point before release because the tablet UI uses vertical covers just like the phone.
