How to install

⭐ This update of Tiling Shell will land on GSE soon!

Manual installation

There are two builds and you need only one of them, according to your GNOME Shell version:

• For GNOME Shell versions 45, 46 and 47: tilingshell@ferrarodomenico.com.zip
• For GNOME Shell versions from 42 to 44: GNOME.42-44.tilingshell@ferrarodomenico.com.zip

To know your GNOME Shell version, run gnome-shell --version.

Extract the downloaded archive. Copy its content to ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/tilingshell@ferrarodomenico.com directory. You need to reload GNOME Shell afterwards (e.g. by logging out). Then you can enable the extension:

/usr/bin/gnome-extensions enable tilingshell@ferrarodomenico.com
