So in the past there used to be a section here which had icons of apps running in the background, such as MegaSync, Slack and whatnot, which I could right click to close the app or left click to show it etc.
I don’t know if I did some sort of setup wrong, I suspect it could be related to my output display somehow?
i3 bar config:
# Start i3bar to display a workspace bar
# (plus the system information i3status finds out, if available)
bar {
font pango:Noto Sans Regular 10, FontAwesome 10
status_command i3blocks -c ~/.config/i3/i3blocks.conf
position bottom
# i3bar_command i3bar --transparency
# it could be that you have no primary display set: set one (xrandr --output <output> --primary)
# reference: https://i3wm.org/docs/userguide.html#_tray_output
tray_output primary
tray_padding 0
# When strip_workspace_numbers is set to yes,
# any workspace that has a name of the form
# “[n][:][NAME]” will display only the name.
strip_workspace_numbers yes
##strip_workspace_name no

I am currently running XFCE with i3, due to my capture device outputting at resolutions that I found exceedingly difficult to properly scale i3 with using xrandr, but very easy to fix using XFCE, don’t know if that may have something to do with it.
