I bind a keyboard shortcut Super + R to set the name of each space, and I generally set the names to those of the projects I'm working on. In current ashell releases this results in overlapping text as soon as names are over 1-2 characters in length.

Make the workspace buttons width shrink to fit the workspace names, and differentiate between them with colours rather than borders.

Now that workspaces' buttons are of variable width due to scaling to the
fit the workspace name, we need to visually distinguish between active
and inactive workspaces through some other means. Inverting colors
should let us preserve the existing workspace color options.
