Use dconf-editor ... to install it - execute : sudo apt install dconf-editor

Then open com -> canonical -> unity -> launcher and click on favorites

In the field Custom value remove 'unity://expo-icon', and click Apply

Switch between work spaces with key combination : Ctrl + Alt + Arrow-Key

When you want to revert the change, you have two options, either re-add 'unity://expo-icon', to Custom value or switch Use default value to ON and then click on Apply.
Note : the second option reverts all launcher icon setting changes back to default though.
