# Taken from https://gist.github.com/bgavran/462c9391a49a835546f9bf9c15ce56f9

#
# This script listens for i3 events and updates workspace names to show icons
# for running programs.  It contains icons for a few programs, but more can
# easily be added by inserting them into WINDOW_ICONS below.
#
# Dependencies
# * xorg-xprop - install through system package manager
# * i3ipc - install with pip


import i3ipc
import subprocess as proc
import re


# Add icons here for common programs you use.  The keys are the X window class
# (WM_CLASS) names and the icons can be any text you want to display. However
# most of these are character codes for font awesome:
