Rotatable orientation of controllers?

This is a purely aesthetic suggestion and does not require changes of control function.

Looking at the many creations of MD's users and those of rival program's it struck me that they all offer controls that are so obviously grid placed - functional layouts, but at the end of the day broadly similar or visually alike in layout concept.

What if you allowed the designer to rotate the orientation of the control through 90, 45, 22.5, or any number of degrees, and be placed anywhere on the screen, not seemingly grid locked? Irrespective of control/button/label type!

This would enable the design of some pretty awesome layouts with no restrictions on design. Alternative graphics for controls/labels catering for arced or trapezoid shaped buttons/designs etc. could be added. The only downside for the programmer would be the need to graphically compensate for controls that have directional light cast on them - the shading would need to change to seamlessly merge with the rest of the layout. Dynamic overlays/layers?

Thanks. I like the suggestion. I imagine that this is going to happen, but it won't be in the next 6 months. It's merely a question of priorities, but I do like this suggestion a lot.

Thanks for contributing as always!

i too suggested this rotatable controllers few days ago

i would love to use the app in portrait mode,

the addition of rotatable controllers would be a great "workaround" for portrait mode without having to really alter the programs code too much

of course we need to have our text, labels etc, rotatable as well
