Appearance

Can be modified in the config/gaps files, will send the variables to rofi, dunst and blocks/status so they follow the theme as well, which is real nice.

Naming of workspaces can also be changed easily by editing their variables.

Notes

Bottom of gaps/config file contains window specific rules. Steam, skype, spotify, terminals are sitting on their own workspaces by default but can easily be removed/added to.
