- 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
