Panorama page in landscape mode

Question

In my new app, there is a windows phone panorama page. I thought it would be best to enable both Landscape and Portrait orientation. But in Landscape, 40% or the screen space is occupied by the heading, 20% by the sub-heading and only the rest stays for the content.

So my question is: should I disable Landscape mode, let everything as it is or change the design and make e. g. the heading smaller?

I know I can put my content in a ScrollViewer, but it still looks a bit silly.

Answer 1

Yes, Landscape mode should be disabled for Panorama Control. From Panorama control design guidelines

The Panorama control is portrait orientation only. There is no landscape support for the Panorama control. Dialogs launched from within the Panorama control shouldn’t be rotated to avoid jarring experiences.
