Issue Coming from Windows 7 and starting with LM 19.1 as new desktop work computer. I use several different Google Chrome Browser Profiles throughout my workday. In windows different profiles are indicated on the Taskbar with a different icon, or, (in LM-speak,) Emblem, so that switching to the correct version is simple.

As things stand now, (and understanding that Mint seems to be using a new grouping-windows option (fork)??) I have to click/hover over the icon, and try to decipher which window contains the profile I need.

Please allow me to see a difference somehow?

Steps to reproduce Open Chrome browser. Lift-click in upper right corner profile to open another profile. Depending on settings in panel, an exact replica of the first chrome icon appears. If the grouping is turned on I believe there will be only one shown.

Expected behaviour

Show an emblem or allow for different icons

Other information I have tried several of the options to have a launcher on the desktop to launch the different profiles in Chrome. This has no affect, including to make a new directory and launcher, add it to the Menu, and pin to panel.
