This is really cool :)
The code LGTM :)

I think for now this makes sense to fix the issue and we can fine tune always later (maybe add an overflow menu instead of scrolling?) but I'll leave a ux review to @elementary/ux

This is cool! makes me wish we had a nice masked underscroll effect.

✅ I like the scrollbar being below the dock. Very cool. Looks good. Might need some custom CSS for the trough but no big deal
❔I think I like that there's separate scroll windows for launchers and spaces. Though I wonder if they should be equal sizes or if one should take priority

  • I'd like to see the new workspace button be outside the scrollbar. I think that should be available always

With a single workspace, Gtk.ScrolledWindow reserves space for a scrollbar. We probably can put the scrolled into revealer and only reveal scrolled when there are workspaces. But this definitely needs some a bit more work

Make the dock stack apps to fit the current screen size instead of extending off screen.
