# Make GNOME App Grid Scroll Vertically (Like it Used to)

**[Linux & related stuff](https://daily.dev/sources/linuxandstuff)** · [@capivara](https://daily.dev/capivara) · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

A new GNOME Shell extension called Vertical App Grid restores vertical scrolling to the app grid, reversing the horizontal scrolling behavior introduced in GNOME 40. The extension allows users to navigate app pages up and down instead of left and right, with customizable icon sizes and spacing. While drag-and-drop reordering and app folders aren't currently supported, it's particularly useful for portrait monitors or vertically-stacked multi-monitor setups. The extension requires GNOME 49 and works on Ubuntu 25.10 or similar distributions.
