Windows taskbar with profile overlay on Chrome icon
In Windows the taskbar allow you to use icon overlays. Is is used by Chrome and
Edge to indicate a profile image. See screenshot. It is very convenient when
you work with several browser windows simultaneously.
But in KDE it does not work. It would be good to support such feature.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Chrome window (it will be your first profile)
2. Create another profile (if not done yet) and open window with it
3. Minimize both windows
OBSERVED RESULT
You cannot differentiate windows, because icons are the same.
EXPECTED RESULT
Would be convenient to have profile icon overlays over the application (chrome)
icon to easily pick window that you want.
