Feature description

Please add/restore the landscape mode

Why do you want this feature?

I use same launcher (Simple Launcher) on phone and tablet for an identical interface on all devices. This is not possible with Fossify Launcher.

    Nothing related to screen orientation was changed since Simple Launcher's last open source version, and it didn't support landscape mode. Which version of Simple Launcher were you using?

    Sorry, my mistake. I am actually using an old XDA Trebuchet port on my Tablet. This looks just like Simple Laucher. I got them mixed up.
    Landscape mode would still be important for use on tablets.

    I like using landscape mode on my phone, so until this is added I won't be using this launcher. So, when landscape mode gets added, please don't limit it to only tablets or something!
