Home screens portrait only - Captivate General

Am I loosing my mind? I don't remember the home screens being in portrait orientation only. All the other screens rotate fine (rotation setting is OK) I thought it might be my wallpaper (Beautiful Widgets and live weather) but things are the same after changing them out.
Thoughts?
TIA

Touchwiz is portrait only I think. Launcher Pro will go into landscape no problem.

Do not use Widget Locker Landscape

I had widget locker installed on my galaxy tab and wanted to change the orientation to landscape. So I switched to landscape and widget locker caused adw launcher and many other apps to crash. So I had to factory reset. Just a warning for those who use it.
Mine is currently set to landscape. Has been for over a week now as I have a Honeycomb layout with ADW EX (whichvis also set to landscape) and I have had nobissues at all.

If an app stuffs up that badly, instead of doing a factory reset you can always just use adb shell and delete the .apk out of the /data/app/ folder.
Works fine in landscape here.
thanks for the replys. I'll investigate further.
EDIT: Still not sure why its giving me force closes. I have adw launcher set in landscape. I have the force landscape option in widget locker. I am using Klean mod for verizon
the latest widget locker works fantastic on my Tab, even supports sensor orientation now.
Landscape works perfectly and secondary sliders are on the right hand side now
rather than the top.
totally worth it if you are in landscape most of the time.

[Q] Wallpaper Scrolling no longer works

So I'm using ADWLauncher EX and at first I didn't use wallpaper scrolling. Now when I switch it back on, I can't make a wallpaper in the gallery which can be used as a scrolling wallpaper.
It doesn't work in the default launcher either. The gallery only allows me to make a portrait wallpaper, not the landscape wallpaper necessary for scrolling.
I've cleared the data for the gallery, but I still can't select a landscape wallpaper.

ADW.Launcher question

OK I have been messing around with ADW.Launcher lately and I like it... Kinda...
My only gripe is that when switching between Portrait and landscape mode it stretches Widgets massively because of the strange grid size and it suing all of the screen instead of having a margin space in between the edge of the screen and the icons (like the default launcher)
Am I missing something in this launcher to enact margins? I can only find a margin setting for the app drawer and nothing else. Have the ability to switch between portrait and landscape would be great with this launcher since it has so many options.

Orientation based Homescreen?

Is there any Launcher out there that got the feature to change homescreen based on orientation?
I currently have my device locked on Landscape because I feel it looks better and I can fit more stuff on it. But with the same number of columns and rows in Portrait makes everything look bad and squished, if I use less rows and columns in Portrait then most of the apps and widgets are hidden and it still looks bad.
So the best would be to have 2 different homescreens depending on the orientation, I currently use Apex but I couldn't find a feature like that. Sure I could just scroll manually to another screen but that's just annoying and it's easier to lock it to landscape in that case.
sslauncher the original (market link) can do that nicely. It doesn't have XxY layouts, everything is freely arangeable (with guidelines). There's also a free version, which should have the same functionality to try first.
Not exactly what I was looking for, I was looking for the standard launcher but with orientation based homescreens. But this one looks really nice, will try it out for a while thanks.
orientation homescreen
only one i have been able to find is on Cyanogenmod 10.x launcher application name is Trebuchet 1.0

I need to use CM for Trebuchet, my device is not supported so that's not possible.
Also on my old device which was supported I couldn't find that function either, Trebuchet can auto-rotate but you can't set default homescreen depending on rotation.
For example, in Apex Launcher I can set Landscape to have 10x10 grid and potrait to have 5x5, the problem with doing that is that all apps and widgets that are set on a grid that is beyond 5y or 5x will disappear in potrait and everything will look bad.
What I want is to use homescreen number 1 as default for landscape and homescreen number 2 as default for potrait, that way I can make them look good on their own orientation.
The launcher should switch to the correct homescreen when I change orientation. I have tried like 15 launcher and haven't seen this function yet.
