How to adapt code for older gnome-shell version?

Debian 11, gnome-shell version 3.38.6

As You probably know, Debian will stick to gnome-shell 3.x for quite some time.

Is it somehow possible to adapt Your code for gnome-shell 3.38? I'm willing to dive into gtk dev if You can give some guidelines.

I am pretty sure that this would be a hell of work. Since GNOME uses a horizontal workspace layout since version 40, the extension "just" has to rotate the workspaces slightly. If you want to have this on 3.3x, you would basically first have to re-implement the entire GNOME 40+ layout (horizontal workspaces, horizontal minimap, scrolling workspace backgrounds, etc.).

I am sorry to say this, but I think it would be hard to finish such a project before Debian finally switches to GNOME 40 😉

Ah. Thank You for the explanation. Thought it would be minor fix. Anyway, great work on other extensions (fly-pie & burning wins)! Will probably "solve" this by pulling GNOME 40 from backports. Never did get over compiz-reloaded :)
