The symbol is just to make it a bit themed, not necessarily ties icons to that workspace. Although I started to do this for my personal usecase…
Don’t know why the symbol and number don’t work together, never had that problem before. Perhaps I am missing some system fonts will have to check.

Alright.
I guess in EnOS default config some work spaces are assigned to some apps.
# bind program to workspace and focus to them on startup:
#assign [class="Xfce4-terminal"] $ws1
#assign [class="(?i)firefox"] $ws2
#assign [class="Thunar"] $ws3
Since I have commented out them, I just removed their symbols as well.

Interesting thing, you could have a negative value for the tray padding. Here is the result for:
tray padding -5
Not something I want, of course, but I didn’t know it would accept a negative integer as value.

the padding is completele unusable… some stuff on i3 seems to be vise-versa as i do not understand what for padding is not done between the tray icons and instead change the space top and bottom ? and also not the space as it changes the size of the icons…

Looks like the one we get is defined by the default value if tray padding
not set?
By default, a padding of 2 pixels is used for the upper, lower and right-hand side of the tray area and between the individual icons.
https://i3wm.org/docs/userguide.html#_tray_padding
when I comment out tray padding 0
, I get smaller and even tighter icons on the tray.

@Zircon34
i use polybar
how i would do it ( if wanted)
(in polybar config )
ws-icon-0 = 1;1:
ws-icon-1 = 2;
ws-icon-2 = 3;
ws-icon-3 = 4;
if no want ( : ) remove or replace
EDit… prob same idea for i3block ( i never try i3block )

For now I settle on a radical solution:
bar {
(some stuff here)
mode hide
hidden_state hide
modifier Mod1
(some stuff here)
}
If I don’t like what I see, then let it be out of my sight

True.
I was kidding. I still like DE:s but the more I get used to WM (for now only i3) the more I feel at home.
There is really no need for the “Honk, Bang, Whistle and Crash” of a DE
