Workspaces

Steps to reproduce

create a workspace with 3 screens, I have a laptop connected to two additional monitors via a docking station. I also use duet and have a monitor on my ipad but have not really tested/used that with workspaces.

place several apps on the monitors and save the workspace.

launch the editor, you can see the screens at the top but there is no indication as to what screen number they are.

Additionally it would be more consistent if the screen numbers where the same as what is shown in system/display. (not a requirement just icing on the cake.

✔️ Expected Behavior

to see screen numbers under or above the images at the top of the editor

❌ Actual Behavior

no indication as to which image is which screen.

@bradyguyc Thanks for the feedback! The list of apps below the preview should be separated by screen number - do those numbers match the display numbers in Windows Settings? The intent is to separate by screen there to keep the preview as uncluttered as possible. /needinfo

the screen numbers do not match the windows display numbers. In the images above workspaces screen 9 compares to windows display screen 2. I also use a product called duet and they use letters for their screen identification. So it's totally different than windows. Again this is a very minor thing and just called it out for consistency. I think the slight larger issue is that the screen 9,10 and 1 on workspaces don't align with the images or you can't easily tell which screen is which image. I would put a label under each image indicating what screen it is.
