Install from GitHub repository

The most recent version in the repository is the one I'm currently running on my own systems, problems may occur, but usually nothing serious. Run following commands in the terminal (git needs to be installed, navigate to the directory you want to download the source):

git clone https://github.com/G-dH/overview-feature-pack.git
cd workspace-switcher-manager/overview-feature-pack@G-dH.github.com/
make install

Enabling the extension

After installation you need to enable the extension and access its settings.

  • First restart GNOME Shell (ALt + F2, r, Enter, or Log Out/Log In if you use Wayland)
  • Now you should see Overview Feature Pack extension in Extensions application (re-open the app if needed to load new data), where you can enable it and access its Preferences window by pressing Settings button.
