Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/JakeStanger/ironbar/issues/987

Right now with my current hyprland-autoname-workspaces config: https://gitlab.com/that1communist/dotfiles/-/blob/master/.config/hyprland-autoname-workspaces/config.toml

ironbar ends up looking like:

This is because ironbar doesn't care about the spans

Describe the solution you'd like
Full support for spans

Describe alternatives you've considered
Technically built in hyprland-autoname-workspaces might work but that seems needlessly complex

Is this in regard to the workspaces module specifically?

The issue is that it doesn't change when autoname updates the workspace name, on the first frame before anything changes, it works @JakeStanger just noticed
