• New: improved borders radius when tiles are near without any gaps or when a tile is near to the screen without any gap. This is Tiling Shell's attention to details 😎. Who is using zero inner or outer gaps will now enjoy a much more pleasing look and feel. Like in this example video, where the inner gaps are set to zero, the inner corners of each tile have no border radius.

• New: improved border width when tiles are near because of zero gaps! An image in this case is better than million words:

How to install

⭐ This update of Tiling Shell is on GSE too!

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, 47 and 48: 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
