My workspase switching key opens a grey bar
what bar, XMobar?
I don't know. I do explicitly launch an xmobar (also a dzen2) in my config, but this isn't either of these. This is whatever appears when I press keys bound to XMonad.Actions.DynamicWorkspaces (selectWorkspace, withWorkspace, renameWorkspace, removeWorkspace) and I haven't managed to discover what that is. Hmm, maybe something out of XMonad.Prompt?
Then it (or any other bar) might have it's own (external) config.
Yes, I have a config file for my xmobar, and I configure the dzen2 with argumens when I launch it, and ...
Further you can look for a "PP"/pretty printer section in your xmonad.hs, as well as for any font definitiions.
... I also have a `myDzenPP` But this is something else.
Also the issue depends on the font you use(d). Do you still have it installed, and is it addressed correctly? Further you could figure out if the font config uses point or pixels for the size, and Xft for rendering.
I'm hopelessy clueless about where fonts come from on my system or how they are configured, found, etc. (Also, I'm on NixOS, so it's bound to be done somewhat differently from the usual way of doing things.)
