I know this feature has been mentioned/requested before but the last post on it I found was from 3 years ago. I was curious if there is now a way to implement custom icons for task bars.
I use custom icons on all of my computers and it is a little jarring having 2 icons for every application. I know the initial issue was that in windows you change the shortcut icon and not the application, but is there any way you could just have displayfusion carry over the icon originally on the Windows taskbar?
Alternatively could you let the user specify a custom icon to overlay whenever an application is placed on a display fusion task bar? (ie. Google Chrome is moved from Monitor 1 to monitor 2, it's icon moves over to monitor 2's taskbar and you right-click the icon, selecting a customize option then change the icon. From that point on any time a chrome window icon is displayed on the monitor 2 taskbar it uses the custom icon instead of chrome.exe's default icon)
Great program and I love it so far, thanks for your time and efforts.

We haven't found a reliable way to get the custom icon from the Windows taskbar, but there's a bit of a work around that will hopefully work for you. If you pin the program to the DisplayFusion taskbar (right-click it's button, choose "Pin this Program to Taskbar"), you can then set a custom icon on it. Just right-click the pinned button and choose "Edit this Pinned Item," cancel the first dialog that pops up, then select the pinned item and click Icon > Set Custom Icon.
Hope that helps!

Thanks for the quick reply, Unfortunately I keep my task bars very clean thanks to the use of 7stacks for containing all of my quick launch icons. Thanks for the suggestion though. Any way I hope to see the custom icon implementation some day but even If I don't you guys have an awesome program either way and I love using it.
Thanks again
