# I'm putting this section here because I feel it makes the file easier to read
 
# The following will be your configured workspaces. You can name them whatever you want, here I'm just setting their corresponding number as their name.
# If you want them to have little icons like the ones shown in my video, you'll need to install a font called Font Awesome, from http://fontawesome.io . Then, from the same website (or by googleing it) you can find the cheatsheet page with all the symbols available in this font. Just choose one, copy it and paste it here in place of the desired workspace name. Here I left the tux icon as an example.
