Customize Your Desktop Backgrounds Per Rotation

- Rob Bushway

image Craig posted a great tip the other day on creating desktop backgrounds that work both in landscape and portrait. Thanks to Craig, I'm thoroughly enjoying that awesome Starbucks background.

David Wengier, a GottaBeMobile.com reader, took Craig's tip a step further by writing a nifty little system tray utility that lets you set a different desktop background per type of rotation. Want a different image when in portrait vs landscape? David has you covered! He's posted about here in our forums, and you can download the app here.

I love those kinds of apps that harness the flexibility of the Tablet PC. Well done, David!

Thanks loads David! I'm going to try this right away. I tried using Wallpaper Gyro (from Tablet PC Post) on my M700, but probably since it's circa 2004 and was written for XP Tablet it was buggy in Vista, so I had to uninstall. Another one listed on Tablet PC Post called wpChanger (circa 2006) is a dead link, so I thought I was out of luck until I saw your offering today.

Since we are on topic, isn´t there a way to fix the position of the icons that move when the screen is rotated?
