Home screen rotation

I remember reading that in the preview of 6.0, there was the ability to enable home screen rotation. Now that I have officially (wugfresh) upgraded to 6.0, I cannot find this feature. Anyone know what happened to it?

IDK about Marshmellow, but I'm already doing this on Lollipop using Nova Launcher.

Settings/Display

Scroll to the bottom and see "When device is rotated". Nova also does the same thing.

This Setting does not allow the actual Home Screen to rotate. I believe that is what the poster is asking for. I am not familiar with Nova Launcher, I am referring to stock Nexus settings.

There is a separate "Auto-Rotate" setting in Nova (under "Look and Feel") that works with your Display system settings, and that does let the home screen rotate between portrait and landscape.

Correct. On the 6.0 preview, there was the option for home screen rotate. I guess they removed it from the official release.

They did this with a couple of features... P1 or P2 had a dark mode for the UI. That got pulled for P3.

Not that I mind... In landscape, things just looked wonky. Scaling was off, everything just looked odd.
