Hmm, TBH it feels too busy for me, especially at the smaller sizes. I wonder if it might benefit from using a single circular line with an arrowhead instead, like this comically crude mockup illustrates:

Unfortunately, there's just not enough space for that kind of icon at 16px. The screen in the icon has to be way too small, the arrow(s) has to be small enough that it turns into noise in the off version, the arrow has to make the icon weirdly uncentered or I need to forget about respecting the margins.

@ngraham Here's something similar to what you asked for:

This is what the current 32px version with arrowheads added looks like, but it can't be done like that with 16px or 22px.

Maybe the rectangle itself doesn't need to be so big? Or maybe it could be even bigger and have the arrows inside?

How about having 3 icons? autorotate, locked portrait and locked landscape?

This way we don't need to have a weird red strike-through.

That's what I asked about the first time in D19690#430032 :P

Sure, I can agree to that. I think being able to force a landscape or portrait orientation without going to the system settings would be a good feature.

I can make the rectangle slightly smaller. I can't make the rectangle bigger because of margins, but I might be able to fit some small arrows inside at the current size

Aleix and I talked, and yeah, your original idea was good. So here's what we need:

• An icon for auto-rotation mode
• An icon for "locked to portrait" mode
• An icon for "locked to landscape" mode

How about a lock icon inside the rectangles to show that they're locked to that orientation? Those vertical and horizontal lines in the current version conjure up movement in my mind, which doesn't seem appropriate.
