Customize your GNOME Shell UX to suit your workflow, whether you like horizontally or vertically stacked workspaces.
Customize your GNOME Shell UX to suit your workflow, whether you like horizontally or vertically stacked workspaces.
The "V" stands for "Variable" and V-Shell supports vertically and horizontally oriented workspaces equally.
V-Shell includes many workarounds to survive conflicts and work with Dash to Dock / Ubuntu Dock extensions and other popular extensions, but issues may occur. If you encounter any problem, first check for conflicts with other extensions and then open an issue on the Github page linked below.
Any feedback is greatly appreciated!
V-Shell features:
- vertical or horizontal orientation of workspaces
- customize the overview layout, dimensions and contents
- alternative overview modes with static workspace preview that reduces unnecessary movement on the screen
- 4 predefined profiles with different layout and behavior that can be overwritten by your settings
