Twitter post by Daniel Feldman (@d_feldman): Linux is the only major operating system to support diagonal mode (credit [Twitter] @xssfox).

A web browser and settings menu above it are organized creating a window shape almost like a stepped pyramid.

Add a randomizer that has a chance of resetting it back to normal every now and then for maximum chaos
