I feel like you don't see a lot of vertical setups here so I wanted to share what I've done so far. I found having everything at the top was way too dense so I moved it to the side but added a second panel at the top in a different color (to go with the wallpaper) for the window buttons.
Hey OP, you can't post this without linking us that cool wallpaper.
Sorry about the wait. I kept forgetting to post it when I wasn't on mobile!
Here's another photo with details
Vertical is without a doubt the best for reading and such.
Do you have only a single vertical monitor setup? or other monitors too as well?
Anyway, dope desktop and very nice wallpaper.
I've got three monitors
Interesting. I like it!
