Twitter post by Daniel Feldman (@d_feldman): Linux is the only major operating system to support diagonal mode (credit [Twitter] @xssfox). Image shows an untrawide monitor rotated about 45 degrees, with a horizontal IDE window taking up a bottom triangle. A web browser and settings menu above it are organized creating a window shape almost like a stepped pyramid.

this makes me wonder if you could have a sensor for monitor orientation and have a dynamic ui that would adjust to keep the windows parallel to the ground no matter how it was spun.

On one hand you would have an even larger screen real estate, on the other you now have two overlapping refresh rates.
