i3-workspace-names-daemon 0.2

Dynamically update the name of each i3wm workspace using font-awesome icons or the names of applications running in each workspace.

# i3-workspace-names-daemon

This script dynamically updates [i3wm](https://i3wm.org/) workspace names based on the names of the windows therein.

It also allows users to define an icon to show for a named window from the [Font Awesome](https://origin.fontawesome.com/icons?d=gallery) icon list.

### install

##### font

Install the [Font Awesome](https://origin.fontawesome.com/icons?d=gallery) font via your favourite package manager. This is necessary if you want to show an icon instead of a window’s name in the i3 status bar.

For Debian/Ubuntu et al.

` sudo apt install fonts-font-awesome `

NB: if the glyphs are not rendering make sure the font is installed

### config

### example config

### picking icons

The easiest way to pick an icon is to search for one in the [gallery](https://origin.fontawesome.com/icons?d=gallery). Note: the “pro” icons are not available in the debian package as you might expect.
