Compact Quick Settings

Compact Quick Settings is a cool GNOME shell extension that makes your experience smoother. If you’ve been using GNOME 43, you probably noticed the new Quick Settings menu. It looks fresh and has some neat features, but maybe you're missing the good old simpler menu from before version 43. Well, guess what? There’s a way to get that classic feel back!

Why Choose Compact Quick Settings?

This nifty extension helps change up the look of the new Quick Settings popup. According to the project's GitHub page, it "...reduces the width of the new quick settings popup menu introduced in GNOME 43, by using only one column instead of two." So, you still get all the functionality but with a more compact layout!

Features You’ll Love

If you’re worried about losing any features, don’t be! With this extension, you can still easily switch between Wi-Fi and wired networks or pick different audio output devices without missing a beat. It’s like having your cake and eating it too!

The Look and Feel

If you were a fan of how things used to look before this update, you'll really enjoy this extension. Sure, it would be nice to have some options to customize the size or width of the menu even more, but it's pretty good as it is.

A Word of Caution

Now here’s something important: if you decide to install Compact Quick Settings, be aware that other extensions tweaking the Quick Settings might not play nice together. Conflicts could pop up with those extensions, so keep an eye out!

Your Perfect Solution

In short, Compact Quick Settings is just what many users have been looking for! It offers a simple solution for anyone who thinks that GNOME 43's new settings menu is a bit too bulky. Give it a try and enjoy that sleek feeling again!
