 # ShrinkVertically -- keep the board horizontal scrollbar visible
 
-A small Kanboard plugin focused on the board's horizontal scrollbar. It fixes the
-vertically-collapsed board view so the bottom scrollbar stays on screen, and can
-optionally add a second, mirrored horizontal scrollbar above the columns. Both are
-configurable under "Settings -> Shrink Vertically".
