Add workspace presets for portrait mode
Open, Needs TriagePublic

Description

Since rotatable tablet device is a thing, wouldn't it make sense to have some workspace presets that work well in portrait mode?

Decided to flip my Cintiq over and try a couple of ideas. I took the 'Default' workspace and moved the dockers around:

Idea 2 Preview

Though 16:9 portrait is pretty uncomfortable to work on because of how narrow it is, I found both of these working well for me.

I could see a situation with wanting a portrait workspace. I use a Surface Pro 4, and sometimes I like to work vertical since it feels more like working from my sketchbook. I think people that work in portrait are more likely to be drawing directly on the screen too.

I like both, but I think we've got a bit of a problem with the toolbox here. Maybe we should make it possible for the toolbox to be an ordinary toolbar...

Care to elaborate?
Personally I can't see any problems with it or had any troubles using it (other than not being used to it).

Well, for some reason, the width/height of the toolbox gets messed up.

We probably should check if there is a way to make the toolbox prefer keeping its size instead of scaling proportionally when the dock areas are being resized.

And I was thinking that we should consider setting QDockWidget::DockWidgetVerticalTitleBar on the toolbox when it is docked at the top or bottom.

Good idea!
