You can set the number of columns overview mode uses in the configuration settings

Sorry, I should have been more specific. The 3 was just an example.
I know about the settings of columns, but would it be possible to automatically determine the number of columns, depending on the window width/zoom level?

Was about to make a bug about this, bug figured someone else already did. This honestly kind of annoying. Def because in 2023 we have bigger and sometimes even ultrawide monitors. So this is kind of an arbitrary limitation. 

why doesn't it just scale with how much screen size there is? ... like Dolphin does for example. it'd be weird if Dolphin had a strict amount of columns. So I don't see why Okular has this so strict.

I have a 2560x1440 monitor and this is the default 3 columns
