 ## Introduction
 
 Simple Tiling is a GNOME Shell extension created for users who want a clean, predictable, and automatic tiling layout without the complexity of larger, more feature-heavy tiling extensions. It is designed to be simple to configure and intuitive to use, focusing on a core set of essential tiling features.

     * **Keyboard Shortcuts:** A full set of keyboard shortcuts allows you to swap the focused window with the master or with its nearest neighbor in any direction (left, right, up, down).
 * **Interactive Window Focus Switcher:** Change the current window focus with a set of customizable keyboard shortcuts in every direction (left, right, up, down).
 * **Simple Settings Panel:** A simple settings panel within the gnome extension manager menu to adjust key bindings, window gaps / margins and window behavior.
-* **External Exception List:** Use a simple `exceptions.txt` file to list applications (by their `WM_CLASS`) that should be ignored by the tiling manager.

 * **Smart Pop-up Handling:** Windows on the exception list, as well as dialogs and other pop-ups, are automatically centered and kept "always on top" for a smooth workflow.
 * **Configurable Tiling Window Delays:** Easily configure the tiling window delays if you have race condition issues by editing variables directly in the `extension.js`.

 ## Installation

 #### Manual Installation
 
-1.  **Clone the repository** into your local extensions directory:
+The repository includes a Makefile that produces ready‑to‑install ZIP packages for the three supported Gnome‑Shell lines (a legacy build for Gnome-Shell 3.38, an interim build for Gnome-Shell 40 - 44 and a modern build for Gnome-Shell 45+).
+
+1. **Clone the Source**
+   ```bash
+   git clone https://github.com/Domoel/Simple-Tiling.git
+   cd Simple-Tiling
+   ```
+
+2. **Install the package that matches your GNOME-Shell version**
+
+   Open the Terminal within the Simple-Tiling directory and run
+   ```bash
+   make install-legacy        # Installs Legacy Extension (Gnome-Shell 3.38)
+   make install-interim       # Installs Interim Extension (Gnome-Shell 40 - 44)
+   make install-modern        # Installs Modern Extension (Gnome-Shell 45+)
+   ```
+   **Note:** This command will directly install the extension in the choosen variant (legacy, interim or modern). If you want to manually create and upload the extension to your gnome extensions directory `(~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions)` you can just run `make build` to create all versions as .zip or `make build-legacy`, `make build-interim` or `make build-modern` to create them seperately as .zip. To enable them you need to unzip these archives and put them into your extensions directory.
+
+4.  **Reload the shell**
     ```bash
-    git clone https://github.com/Domoel/Simple-Tiling.git
+    Press Alt + F2, type  r , hit ↩   (works for X11 and Wayland)
     ```
-2.  **Compile the GSettings schema.** This is a mandatory step for the keyboard shortcuts to work.
+5.  **Clean up (optional)**
     ```bash
-    cd ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/simple-tiling@domoel/
-    glib-compile-schemas schemas/
+    make clean        # perform this command in the downloaded folder to remove builds and generated ZIPs
     ```
-3.  **Restart GNOME Shell.** Press `Alt` + `F2`, type `r`, and press `Enter`.
-4.  **Enable the extension** using the GNOME Extensions app or GNOME Tweaks.
