# More columns in applications view
This is a GNOME Shell extension to set the max number of columns in the "applications grid" view (by default, this maximum is only 6).
The actual number of columns is **still computed the same way, depending on your screen aspect ratio:** there are 4 lines, and icons are square, so no magic possible.
Usually with a 16:9 aspect ratio, you can have 8 columns (see screenshot). With a 4:3 aspect ratio, the extension has no effect.
Compatible with GNOME Shell 3.18 to 3.36
----
## Installation
After the installation, you need to restart GNOME Shell ("logout and login again", or Alt+F2, `r`, Enter).
#### From the GNOME website
You can get it from [here](https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1305/more-columns-in-applications-view/)
#### From this repo
Clone the repo (or download it as ZIP and extract it), and run `./install.sh`
#### For Arch Linux users
Arch Linux users can install `gnome-shell-extension-more-columns-in-applications-view-git` from AUR.
(I don't maintain that package, i've no idea if it's up-to-date).
