I don't think that you understand what I meant. Please see the above
figure for what I mean.

When my mouse on top of "2" on my toolbar, icewm will pop up "Workspace:2".

I still want to maintain the numbers 0 to 9 on the toolbar. But I want
to change the pop-up words, such as "Workspace:2", to something more
descriptive.

Also, since I can put anything on a workspace while I am using icewm,
I am wondering if I could change the pop-up words without restarting
icewm.
