Change Workspace Icons and Labels

[chenvictor]

I'm trying to follow the docs here: https://regolith-linux.org/docs/howtos/change-workspace-icons/
to give workspaces textual descriptions, but the workspace tabs still only show the index.

I currently have

i3-wm.gaps.inner.size: 15
i3-wm.gaps.smart: on
i3-wm.bar.position: top

i3-wm.workspace.01.name: 1: General
i3-wm.workspace.02.name: 2: Chat
i3-wm.workspace.06.name: 6: Web

In my Xresources file and the gaps and bar position seem to be working.

Is this documentation up to date?

What do you mean by "index"? Could you give us a better description of what you're trying to achieve?

[chenvictor]

By "index", I mean workspace number.

I managed to get it working now, but this is what I was going for:

Where the workspace number and text is shown.

I'm not sure why but regolith-look refresh was not sufficient and I had to restart my computer to get the text to show up.
