Screen orientation

A computing system, comprising:

• a screen;
• and
• a processor having a control unit to:
• receive, from a mobile application, a request for a change of the orientation of the screen from a first orientation to a second orientation,
• determine whether the screen of the computing device is docked at a stationary position,
• cancel the request for change of the orientation of the screen when the screen is docked.
• change the resolution of the screen by determining a new resolution parameter of the screen, and
• display the mobile application on the screen by using the new resolution parameter of the screen.

A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium encoded with instructions executable by a processor of a computing device having a screen, the machine-readable storage medium comprising instructions to:

• intercept a request for a change of an orientation of a screen from a landscape orientation to a portrait orientation, where the request is sent by a mobile application;
• determine whether the computing device includes components to rotate the screen to the portrait orientation;
• cancel the request for change of the orientation of the screen when the computing device does not include components to rotate the screen;
• adjust the resolution of the screen;
• and
• display the mobile application on the screen by using the new resolution.
