Instead of icon in pager I would rather see preview of the layout for each workspace (with icons for windows which are big enough) which is properly filled according to number of windows currently present in particular layout.

For example if I have regular "split non-master region in half" layout it should show 50%/50% split for 2 windows and 50%/25%/25% split for 3 windows and icon should be displayed only on 50% parts if 25% is too small.

All the necessary information is available inside of xmonad but it's impossible to communicate it to regular pager. Utilizing this information would really set taffybar apart from hundreds of other pager available out there.

I did before opening this bug. That's a nice starting point but it does not cover all what's described in this issue. Read the issue description.

@zabbal This is already done to some extent in that workspace icons are ordered based on the position of the left hand side of the window.

It would be possible to actually arrange the icons in a way that reflects the way the windows are configured, but I wonder if visual information would actually be useful.
