    workspace-switcher will indicate workspace on

    The Ws will shortly show which Ws one is on But this will only work on the default 2X2 setting
    Any other settings continue to use static icon, at least for now.
    screen shows bottom right (ws 4

    (myself use 1X4 & for the most part hide the launcher & use plank as ATM it's better featured than Unity launcher

    Very interesting. I assume also that this is the first of the icon changes to come?

    Note* You can also see the window switch in the actual icon.. nice effect.

    Things are done based on the default, after that chips fall where they may..
    The Ws icon whatever is based on position (top left, ect.) rather than # & the icon only has 4 area's anyway.
    (the not updated for a while 'indicator-workspace' (from a ppa) still works ok, needs a little help auto starting & not sure how it likes 3X3 though could be ok with wall.

    Here I've now gone with plank instead until the unity launcher grows up, if ever.
    (other than a built-in neutered spread it has all the UL has plus a fair bit more

    Here's one for you...

    Just got home from work -- gotta get up and go back in 3 hours.

    Reading your posts (above), I wondered if the 4 corners of my 3x3 setup would display in the icon. Soooo, I started going through the Ws in order, one-by-one, using the switcher. I got to W-5 and Unity hard-locked. LoL!

    Fortunately, I could still shell-out to console and reboot. Otherwise, I would have had to hit the power button, and risk the consequences -- haven't got time to fiddle around with Canonical nonsense, right now.

    Yes, indeed... brilliant move!

    It's coded only to work with 2x2, little snippet


    if (hsize != 2 || vsize != 2)
    {
    icon_name = "workspace-switcher-top-left";
    screen_viewport_switch_ended_connection_.disconnec t();
    terminate_expo_connection_.disconnect();
    }
    else
    {
    UpdateIcon();
    ect.

    From source test

    TEST_F(TestExpoLauncherIcon, Icon2x2Layout)
    {
    EXPECT_EQ(icon.icon_name, "workspace-switcher-top-left");

    wm->SetCurrentViewport(nux:oint(1, 0));
    wm->screen_viewport_switch_ended.emit();
    EXPECT_EQ(icon.icon_name, "workspace-switcher-right-top");

    wm->SetCurrentViewport(nux:oint(0, 1));
    wm->screen_viewport_switch_ended.emit();
    EXPECT_EQ(icon.icon_name, "workspace-switcher-left-bottom");
    ect.ect.

    (finally did a fresh install of raring, 1st overall - must be a bug but noticed if I shutdown/restart with vlc open the reboot/login has vlc open
    (thought maybe some sort of session restore but so far only vlc...

    Yeah, probably, but I'm running on fumes, you know?

    I just gave it the 3-finger salute, from console.

    That way, I can catch a few seconds sleep, while it's rebooting. LoL!
