Description of the new feature / enhancement

Multiple desktops have the same taskbar. Change the taskbar settings for different taskbars. Specify which apps are pinned to the taskbar for multiple desktops.

Scenario when this would be used?

I might have a math desktop with math applications open. A video conferencing desktop with Microsoft Teams and Zoom open. A desktop for Computer Aided Design with AutoCad, AutoCAD Mechanical, AutoCAD Electrical, AutoCAD Architectural. A coding desktop with Jetbrains PyCharm, IntelliJ, VS Code. A desktop for Word, PowerPoint, and Excel. A desktop for CPU and system monitoring.
