Nice … but not for me. I just keep the same until I get tired mainly darker colors. Not just because I like them but due to my eyes having been looking at computers long enough my eyes are 1/2 fried.
Now that I have antechdesigns wallpapers, I’ve been on one setup for a while now! Same thing with eyes trying to crawl out of my head these days… restful colours only!
one odd thing is that my wifi applet has disappeared form the xfce bar. Will have to see how to bring it back.
Edit: removed polybar, log out/back in and its back…
Another cool trick was to copy paste the icons from i3blocks.conf. Here is how my workspaces look like now:

You did it with the eos theming too? Very cool.
Do they stay open persistently too?
not sure, they seem to be a bit buggy. It works well if I open 1, then 2 then 3 etc.
I thing to make them stay is simply by automatically loading apps into each workspace if that is your thing. Like terminal in 1, firefox in 2, files in 3, email in 4, etc… since these are apps we use all the time anyways.
I will try to see if I can find online more infos if it is possible to tweak the workspace settings via code.

wondering, is there a source for the mouse logo in .svg?
Do you want just whisker, or with the i3 logo together?
mouse+i3 so I can play around in inkscape
or just the purple mouse will do too!
@fbodymechanic, have been running this setup for a week, its great! I now have the polybar on top and just below the xfce bar. My question is how to you disable wifi and bluetooth icons to occur in the polybar?
When I disable polybar entirely, the bluetooth and wifi appear in xfce bar. However, when polybar is enabled, it takes over. The weird thing is that I also disabled nm-applet in the i3 config, also checked i3status/blocks. I am not sure where in the config file I can get rid of wifi/bluetooth tray displaying on polybar, so that xfce takes over. Dex is disabled too.

In which config file, just .config/i3/config?
polybar config
Didn’t know there was such a thing 
will check after work.
you install polybar ? or talk about i3 block bar ? 
I now have the polybar on top and just below the xfce bar.
I just installed xfce and i3wm eos themed and didn’t really change anything. My config file uses i3blocks and i3status for what is displayed on the bar, I thought these were all polybar related.
Now I get it, I have to change it in i3blocks file probably. Always thought that i3blocks is to configure what appears on polybar, obviously I mixed things up.
That was always confusing to me.

I didn’t change it, I only eliminated the i3bar with hashtags. @Zircon34 It’s in your i3config I believe. . . I’ve never tried running xfce-panel AND i3bar/polybar at the same time. . . I’ve only used them with i3 exclusively. I’ll bust out that computer in a bit and see what I see.
