There are a few reasons a user would like to rotate their display. Many programmers prefer physically turning their monitors 90-degrees and switching to a portrait view. Sometimes, the display can get turned sideways or upside down. Either way, you'll find help in the next few sections. To proceed, select what operating system you're using below and then follow the instructions.

Microsoft Windows

Below are the steps for how you can rotate the screen in Microsoft Windows. Before choosing your version of Windows, you may want to try the shortcut key combination steps that works with many computers. If you're unable to navigate in Windows because of the flipped display see the steps on unable to navigate Windows.

Shortcut key combination

Some graphics cards allow the user to rotate the screen by holding Ctrl+Alt and pressing one of the arrow keys. For example, pressing Ctrl+Alt+down arrow with flip the image on your screen upside down, and pressing Ctrl+Alt+up arrow would put it back to normal.

This method only works with some video cards. If this keyboard shortcut does not work for you, select your version of Windows from the list above, and follow those instructions instead.

Windows 7, 8, and 10

1. Press the Windows key, type Display settings, and then press Enter.
2. A window should open similar to the one shown below.

1. Select the monitor whose orientation you'd like to change.
2. Under Orientation, click the down arrow at the edge of the box.
3. Select your orientation, click Apply, and then OK (non-Windows 10 users).

Windows XP and Vista

1. Minimize all open programs by pressing Windows key+D.
2. Right-click any blank spot on the desktop.
3. In the drop-down menu that appears, click Graphics Options, and then Graphics Properties.
4. In the window that opens, select the Rotation tab.
5. Choose your desired settings, click Apply, and then OK.

Third-party utility

1. Look on the far right side of the Windows Taskbar for any icon in the systray related to your video card. For example, NVIDIA's utility should look similar to the icon () shown here.
2. When you locate the utility, right-click the icon and select open. NVIDIA users are looking for the NVIDIA Control Panel.
3. Try to locate any rotation settings. NVIDIA users should see Rotate display under the Display section on the left side of the window.
4. Choose an orientation and exit the program.
5. If you cannot locate any utilities or rotation settings, open your display properties by clicking Start, Settings, Control Panel, and double-clicking the display icon. Within display properties, check the settings tab for any additional settings or rotation settings for correcting your issue.

If you still cannot rotate the screen, delete the Display adapter in Device Manager and reboot the computer to reinstall the video card.

https://craftssoftware.mystrikingly.com/blog/starry-night-pro-plus-8-0-24. Always install the latest Windows updates to keep your video drivers current. For help with Windows updates, see: How to update a Microsoft Windows computer.

Unable to navigate Windows

1. Boot the computer into Safe Mode. Because no third-party software utilities are loaded when the computer is booted into Safe Mode, your display should look normal.
2. If you are familiar with what program enabled your display to be rotated, attempt to load the program through Safe Mode and correct your settings.
3. If you are not familiar with how the screen was rotated open Device Manager, remove the Display adapter, and reboot the computer to reinstall the video card.
4. If this does not resolve your issue, we recommend installing the latest video drivers on your computer.

Apple macOS

On an Apple Macintosh computer, you can rotate the display by doing the following.

1. Open the System Preferences application.
2. While pressing Command, click the Display button.
3. Select the Rotationdrop-down menu.
4. Choose your desired orientation.
5. Exit the System Preferences application.

Google Chrome OS

To rotate the screen on a Chromebook, use the shortcut combination Ctrl+Shift+Refresh. Each time this shortcut is pressed, the screen makes one clockwise rotation of 90-degrees.

The spinning pinwheel is a variation of the mouse pointer arrow, used in Apple's macOS to indicate that an application is busy.^[1]

Officially, the macOS Human Interface Guidelines refers to it as the spinning wait cursor,^[2] but it is also known by other names, including the spinning beach ball^[3], the spinning wheel of death^[4], the spinning beach ball of death,^[5] or the ferris wheel of death. Infinite (itch) (atlas) mac os.

History[edit]

Thread 120 mac os. A wristwatch was the first wait cursor in early versions of the classic Mac OS. Apple's HyperCard first popularized animated cursors, including a black-and-white spinning quartered circle resembling a beach ball. The beach-ball cursor was also adopted to indicate running script code in the HyperTalk-like AppleScript. The cursors could be advanced by repeated HyperTalk invocations of 'set cursor to busy'.

Wait cursors are activated by applications performing lengthy operations. Tech art project 2 (amwilkes) mac os. Some versions of the Apple Installer used an animated 'counting hand' cursor. Other applications provided their own theme-appropriate custom cursors, such as a revolving Yin Yang symbol, Fetch's running dog, Retrospect's spinning tape, and Pro Tools' tapping fingers. Apple provided standard interfaces for animating cursors: originally the Cursor Utilities (SpinCursor, RotateCursor)^[6] and, in Mac OS 8 and later, the Appearance Manager (SetAnimatedThemeCursor).^[7]

From NeXTStep to Mac OS X[edit]

NeXTStep 1.0 used a monochrome icon resembling a spinning magneto-optical disk.^[a] Shutter chance mac os. Some NeXT computers included an optical drive which was often slower than a magnetic hard drive and so was a common reason for the wait cursor to appear.

When color support was added in NeXTStep 2.0, color versions of all icons were added. The wait cursor was updated to reflect the bright rainbow surface of these removable disks, and that icon remained even when later machines began using hard disk drives as primary storage. Contemporary CD Rom drives were even slower (at 1x, 150 kbit/s).^[b]

With the arrival of Mac OS X the wait cursor was often called the 'spinning beach ball' in the press,^[8] presumably by authors not knowing its NeXT history or relating it to the hypercard wait cursor.

The two-dimensional appearance was kept essentially unchanged^[c] from NeXT to Rhapsody/Mac OS X Server 1.0 which otherwise had a user interface design resembling Mac OS 8/Platinum theme, and through Mac OS X 10.0/Cheetah and Mac OS X 10.1/Puma, which introduced the Aqua user interface theme.

Mac OS X 10.2/Jaguar gave the cursor a glossy rounded 'gumdrop' look in keeping with other OS X interface elements.^[9]In OS X 10.10, the entire pinwheel rotates (previously only the overlaying translucent layer moved).With OS X 10.11 El Capitan the spinning wait-cursor's design was updated. It now has less shadowing and has brighter, more solid colors to better match the design of the user interface. The colors also turn with the spinning, not just the texture.

System usage[edit]

In single-tasking operating systems like the original Macintosh operating system, the wait cursor might indicate that the computer was completely unresponsive to user input, or just indicate that response may temporarily be slower than usual due to disk access. This changed in multitasking operating systems such as System Software 5, where it is usually possible to switch to another application and continue to work there. Individual applications could also choose to display the wait cursor during long operations (and these were often able to be cancelled with a keyboard command).

After the transition to Mac OS X (macOS), Apple narrowed the wait cursor meaning. The display of the wait cursor is now controlled only by the operating system, not by the application. This could indicate that the application was in an infinite loop, or just performing a lengthy operation and ignoring events. Each application has an event queue that receives events from the operating system (for example, key presses and mouse button clicks); and if an application takes longer than 2 seconds^[10] to process the events in its event queue (regardless of the cause), the operating system displays the wait cursor whenever the cursor hovers over that application's windows.

This is meant to indicate that the application is temporarily unresponsive, a state from which the application should recover. It also may indicate that all or part of the application has entered an unrecoverable state or an infinite loop. During this time the user may be prevented from closing, resizing, or even minimizing the windows of the affected application (although moving the window is still possible in OS X, as well as previously hidden parts of the window being usually redrawn, even when the application is otherwise unresponsive). While one application is unresponsive, typically other applications are usable. File system and network delays are another common cause.

Guidelines, tools and methods for developers[edit]

By default, events (and any actions they initiate) are processed sequentially, which works well when each event involves a trivial amount of processing, the spinning wait cursor appearing until the operation is complete. If processing takes long, the application will appear unresponsive. Developers may prevent this by using separate threads for lengthy processing, allowing the application's main thread to continue responding to external events. However, this greatly increases the application complexity. Another approach is to divide the work into smaller packets and use NSRunLoop or Grand Central Dispatch.

• Bugs in applications can cause them to stop responding to events; for instance, an infinite loop or a deadlock. Applications thus afflicted rarely recover.
• Problems with the virtual memory system—such as slow paging caused by a spun-down hard disk or disk read-errors—will cause the wait cursor to appear across multiple applications, until the hard disk and virtual memory system recover.

Instruments is an application that comes with the Mac OS X Developer Tools. Along with its other functions, it allows the user to monitor and sample applications that are either not responding or performing a lengthy operation. Each time an application does not respond and the spinning wait cursor is activated, Instruments can sample the process to determine which code is causing the application to stop responding. With this information, the developer can rewrite code to avoid the cursor being activated.

Apple's guidelines suggest that developers try to avoid invoking the spinning wait cursor, and suggest other user interface indicators, such as an asynchronous progress indicator.

Alternate names[edit]

The spinning wait cursor is commonly referred to as the (Spinning) x (of Death/Doom).^[d] The most common words or phrases x can be replaced with include:

• Disk
• (Beach) Ball^[11][12]
• (Rainbow) wheel
• Pinwheel
• Pizza^[e]
• Pie
• Marble
• Lollipop
