Pinned icon issue when ShowLabels = Never

Anonymous 5 years ago updated by Michael (Ramen Software) 5 years ago 1

Pin an app to Taskbar.

Open its .lnk Properties and change its icon.

So, when there's no window for the app, this icon shows. (See the middle image.) It's what I want.

When there's a window for the app, its task button shows the app's icon. (See the top image.) It's what I want.

But when ShowLabels = Never, the task button shows the customized icon. (See the bottom image.) This is not what I want.

Could this be optimized further?

Thank you.

Unfortunately 7+ Taskbar Tweaker can't solve this currently. It's relevant to the following post, except that the other behavior is desired there (having the window icon, not the pinned icon):
