 # ShrinkVertically -- keep the board horizontal scrollbar visible
 
-A tiny Kanboard plugin that fixes the vertically-collapsed board view so the bottom
-horizontal scrollbar stays on screen.
+A small Kanboard plugin focused on getting around the board horizontally. It fixes the
+vertically-collapsed board view so the bottom scrollbar stays on screen, can optionally
+add a second mirrored scrollbar above the columns, and can optionally let you drag the
+board background to scroll (like Trello). Everything is configurable under
+"Settings -> Shrink Vertically".
 
 ## The problem
 
@@ -59,12 +62,45 @@ Copy this folder into your Kanboard installation as `plugins/ShrinkVertically/`.
 directory name must be exactly `ShrinkVertically` (Kanboard derives the plugin namespace
 from the folder name). Reload the board; no build step, no configuration.
 
+## Top horizontal scrollbar (optional)
+
+Kanboard's board scrolls horizontally inside `#board-container`, so its only horizontal
+scrollbar is at the very bottom of the board -- on a wide board you must scroll all the
+way down to move sideways. Enable "Add a top horizontal scrollbar" in the settings to get
+a second, mirrored scrollbar just above the columns. A small script
+(`Asset/js/top-scrollbar.js`, loaded only when the option is on) inserts a dummy scroll
+strip above `#board-container` and keeps its scroll position in sync with the board both
+ways.
+
+## Drag to scroll on Desktop (optional)
+
+Kanboard has no way to pan the board by grabbing it; you must use the scrollbar. Enable
+"Drag the board background to scroll" to click and drag on the empty board background to
+scroll the columns sideways, like the Trello board canvas. A small script
+(`Asset/js/drag-scroll.js`, loaded only when the option is on) starts a horizontal pan on
+`#board-container` only when the press lands on empty background -- pressing a task card,
+a drag handle or any control is ignored, so Kanboard's own card and column drag-and-drop
+keep working unchanged.
+
 ## Settings
 
-Go to "Settings -> Shrink Vertically" to set the pixel offset. The value is stored in the
-Kanboard configuration and injected in the page head as the `--sv-shrink-offset` CSS
-variable. Increase it if the scrollbar is still clipped (for example with a taller theme
-header); decrease it to make the collapsed columns taller. Default: 240.
+These settings are global (per Kanboard instance) and admin-only. Go to
+"Settings -> Shrink Vertically":
+
+- **Vertical offset in pixels** -- pixels reserved around the collapsed columns. Injected
+  in the page head as the `--sv-shrink-offset` CSS variable. Increase it if the scrollbar
+  is still clipped (for example with a taller theme header); decrease it to make the
+  collapsed columns taller. Default: 240.
+- **Scrollbar thickness and column gap in pixels** -- a single value that sets both the
+  thickness of the top scrollbar (Chromium/WebKit only) and the width of the column gap.
+  Injected as the `--sv-bar-size` CSS variable. Default: 25.
+- **Add a top horizontal scrollbar to the board** -- toggles the mirrored top scrollbar
+  described above. Default: on.
+- **Widen the gap between columns** -- toggles the wider gap between board columns (sized
+  by the value above). Also adds some spacing at the left and right edges of the board.
+  Default: on.
+- **Drag the board background to scroll horizontally** -- toggles the Trello-style
+  click-and-drag panning described above. Default: on.
