workspace names (very minor topic)

[Melber]

That's very neat, as long as the user doesn't change to more than 2.

If you want 4 workspaces, you just use 4 glyphs. Workspace names would then be filled/outline/outline/outline, outline/filled/outline/outline, outline/outline/filled/outline, outline/outline/outline/filled.

But I do wonder whether it might similar enuf to a folder that it function would be unclear.

There are other glyphs, eg. filled and outline circles.

The font-awesome website also has dice, which would enable up to 6 workspaces, but I'm not sure if they're included in the version we're using.

Then the simplest way would be just numbers and no names of any sort.

Code: Select all

session.screen0.workspaceNames:	1, 2, 3, 4, 

Which looks pretty bare all by itself--and it's not clear that is naming and not counting--which I why I'm leaning toward "#1" instead where that distinction is clear.

To me, it looks odd when I bring up the workspace menu. I'm reading it as Workspace number 1, Workspace number 2, etc.

This makes more sense. Now I read it as Workspace 1, Workspace 2, etc. But that's just me.

I actually like the dice idea.

How would one incorporate workspaces 7-12? fluxbox can have up to 12 workspaces maximum.

6+1=7

and no sane person uses 12 workspaces

need to check tonight, but I suspect they're not part of the v. old version we use..

If you can have #1, can you not have Workspace 1?

That could mean translating 'Workspace', of course. Is an icon or ASCI art of some sort feasible, these being more universally recognised?

@1, [-1-], [-2-] ...?

These glyphs are in Hack Nerd Font
This font also offers simple blocks with digit only
and stack-lined squares with digits --> which I quite like :)

fwiw: nearly all fontawesome glyphs are included in the Hack Nerd Font...

Those are on target, thanks.

Where can those be found? I'm not seeing them in the repo, unless they are under a different name.
