I don't recommend using this piece of software as it made my display manager logfile reach 36GB and completely fill up my home directory due to https://github.com/denesb/xfce4-i3-workspaces-plugin/issues/42

Running xfsettingsd and then starting the panel from within i3 seems to work as a fine alternative and the workspaces are handled properly.

@ad1217 how are you building i3ipc-glib-git? it seems like I am missing that dependency but when building it I get the following:

make  all-recursive

Making all in i3ipc-glib

@toniiz Could you be more specific about the error and/or post more of the log? It builds fine for me, which suggests that the package might be missing a dependency. It also builds fine in a mostly clean chroot though (mostly clean because I also needed to build i3ipc-glib-git, which is currently missing a makedepend on glib2-devel).

confirm that this is still broken, I was unable to build, got a - exit status 4

(Ignore the following, it has been merged)

Currently broken with Xfce 4.16/GTK3. I have a PR open upstream to fix this: https://github.com/denesb/xfce4-i3-workspaces-plugin/pull/63. You can use

source=("${pkgname}::git+https://github.com/ad1217/xfce4-i3-workspaces-plugin#branch=gtk3")

until that is merged, which will hopefully be soon.
