[FEATURE REQUEST] ADD INDICATOR STYLE about space-bar HOT 13 OPEN

Hi @JE-Amouel, thanks for your request.

Disclaimer upfront: I'm not getting a lot of work done on the extension these days, so anything might take some time or not happen at all.

To understand your request right: Do you use the "current workspace name" indicator style and want to see the name of the workspace and at the same time its index + number of total workspaces? E.g.

1 / 3: Main

from space-bar.

thank you I understand, I will try to be more precise,

1. I use dash to panel as an extension to manage my panel instead of the original gnome panel, and my panel is stored on the left of my screen, which means that I would have difficulty using names to organize my workspace, especially if the name is long (names are truncated), so I prefer to use the decimal indicator where my spaces are ordered by number.
2. Since my panel is lateral, and my screen is always horizontal, I prefer to optimize the space in the panel to have only useful and compact information, again the decimal indicators where the workspaces are organized into Decimal numbers are no longer very effective because for each new workspace the indicator bar becomes longer and longer. therefore I just wanted to suggest a new type of indicator which is both compact while being precise, like an indicator which will present the workspace in the form of a ratio, we would have on the right side the current workspace, a delimiter and on the right side the total active workspaces, format: [workspace] + [delimiter] + [active workspaces]

Example:

1. if I have 5 workspaces and I am on space number 2, with "/" as delimiter, then the indicator would display, 2/5
   

2. if I have 3 workspaces and I am on workspace 3, with a delimiter ":", the indicator would display, 3:3
   

RM:just the delimiter could be a character chosen by the user.

I hope that I would have been rather precise, THANKS!.

Hi, I implemented a feature to customize labels. To try it, download https://github.com/christopher-l/space-bar/raw/feat/total-ws-number/[email protected] and run the following command inside the download directory:

gnome-extensions install --force [email protected]

Does this work for you?

I updated the zip file to work on GNOME 45. Didn't test it though since my distribution is already on GNOME 46, but it should behave the same.

Thanks, that work fine, and sorry for the delay.

Nice to hear! I submitted the update for GNOME 46. Currently, I don't upload back ports of new features for older GNOME versions, but I'll leave the branch with the version for GNOME 45 up for now to not break the download link.
