system-tray

I nearly never use my Unity Launcher bar, so I have it to auto-hide to regain my pixels. The one thing I am missing is the ability to see which workspace I am currently on.

What I would like is a little indicator in the upper right corner, that would show me what workspace (viewport) is current.

Some similar questions were asked here, but they are all old and for 12.04 or earlier. I want it fixed for my 14.04.
