[feature] add a possibility to change the way of displaying items from private space (and possibly work profile)

A minor aesthetic tweak. As of now, if we go for a minimalist list without icons, each position we have installed in a private space has a [Private] prefix before the name, eg. Private Whatsapp, Private Gallery etc.
Would be nice and more aesthetically pleasing to be able to replace [Private] from the name with a little dot, star *, lock or anything really , preferably by changing it universally for all items, but if not, at least being able to edit them one by one.

And thanks for creating my favorite launcher! :)

I just remembered the same probably applies to work profiles.

Thanks for the suggestion!
I'm not really happy with the currenty solution myself. I'd really like to have an option where the list just shows the badge for the profile. However, the Android API unfortunately only has methods to
(a) add a badge to an app icon and
(b) add text to an app label (this is what I use in the text layout)
So there is no way to access the actual badge.

I could add icons to µLauncher, but that would require knowing about all possible types of profiles.
(Currently there seem to exist at least private space, work profile and clone profile - I never used the latter one and have no idea how long it exists, but an advantage is that I don't have to since it doesn't require any special treatment. No idea whether vendors add their own types of profiles and what plans there are for the future.)

I see the following options
(a) add icons for every type of profile i know about (see above)
(b) let users customize the badge texts for each profile (might be hard to explain and should probably go in some "advanced settings" section).
(c) add some option like "suppress profile annotation" to the renaming dialog (however it would be a lot of work to go through all apps and rename them manually, so I don't really like this idea)
(d) add a setting to suppress all of these annotations / badges
(e) implement #84, automatically create a tag for each profile and let users decide how this tag is handled as part of the general UI around tags

You need to thank @finnmglas for that ^^

I think your proposed option (b) wouldn't have to be that confusing really (not more than the idea of using a text based minimalist launcher itself at least 😅) - something in options menu like "label for apps from private space" (+ the same for work) and after clicking - ability to edit "Private" text into any other text. In my case for example replacing "Private" even with a "*" or a dot would be perfect.
