Description
I can assign individual icons for each profile, and each tab I open for said profile has that profile's icon on the tab. HOWEVER, the taskbar "button" has the primary app icon on it, which isn't as helpful as having the currently active tab's icon instead. The correct icon provides a visual cue on which taskbar button is "my" button I'm looking for.
