It's possible I just missed it in the plethora of eye-glazing information out there... but has anyone figured out a way to set names for workspaces in polybar... or make all your workspaces show in the par, even the empty ones?

Or, better yet, does anyone know of any better (not lemonbar please) alternatives to polybar? I would like something that is as simply elegant like the i3 bar but super customizable like polybar (mostly) is.
