Bug Description

When there are multiple monitors plugged in, several styling errors occur:

1. The first workspace thumbnail is scaled horizontally as if only one monitor was plugged in. This results in two screens being "squished" together for the first thumbnail.

2. All of the following workspace thumbnails end up run together, with little to no spacing in-between them. Sometimes the thumbnails even overlap.

I included a screenshot demonstrating the issue, and can easily upload additional screens.

And, by the way, in the secondary monitor there is only that black rectangle and not the workspace view as in the primary monitor.
I think it should show the workspace switcher either on both displays or show it just on the primary one, not the black rectangle though.

The problem as it appears here is almost certainly fixed. Please reopen if I'm mistaken.
