📰 Floating Mini Panel Vertical Mode
Floating Mini Panel GNOME Shell extension has added a vertical panel orientation option in its latest update. For those unfamiliar with this nifty desktop add-on, it turns the GNOME’s top bar into a compact ‘widget’ you can move around your desktop, floating above other windows. A drawer lets you show/hide additional panel applets on demand. It’s a funnily fully functional and interactive panel, just smaller.
