Vertical Overview

Quick note: If you run in to issues and are waiting for me to fix them, I apologise in advance. Unfortunately I do not have the time to properly maintain this extension. I do on occasion come back to it (mostly when my own install breaks). However, extensions have a tendency to break with every update and this one modifies a lot of important code. Luckily @G-dH is writing a new vertical workspace extension, that might be worth a shot. You can find it here: Link

Description

Gnome has had vertically stacked workspaces for a long time. The Gnome 40 update unfortunately made the switch to a horizontal layout. A choice that many Gnome users disagree with. This extension Aims to replace the new Gnome overview with something that resembles the old style.

Donations

I never expected this to be something I have to consider. I really don't expect anyone to donate, nor do I want anyone to feel obligated to do so. I do this because I enjoy it and will for sure keeping working on it as long as I can. However multiple people have asked me to make a donation button, so here it is. If you are considering donating, Thank you so much! I really appreciate it.
