Viewer Icon should be different?

I'm wondering why the icon of the viewer in the taskbar is the same as the Opus (DO)? Shouldn't it the blue square (Viewer) ?
Most of the time it confuses me when I try to open the viewer window instead of Opus.

Note that the Viewer/VFS Plugins category is for posting viewer plugins and VFS plugins.

Regarding the icon, you're probably confused by the way the Windows 7/8/10 taskbar works. If taskbar grouping (or "Hide Labels" as it seems to be called in the Taskbar settings UI) is on, which is the default, then the icon represents the application, not any individual window. You only see individual window icons when you hover over the application icon.

If you turn off grouping on the taskbar, you'll see a different icon for viewer windows compared to other windows.

(You seem to have two Opus application icons on your taskbar, and I'm guessing that if you unpin both and then re-pin whichever remains, you'll then only have one.)

You can also install this add-in to separate viewer windows into their own group on the taskbar, which will also make the viewer icon appear at the top level of the taskbar, distinct from the Opus application icon:

I'm so sorry for putting the topic in the wrong category. I misunderstood and thought that was a general topic about Viewer. Not gonna happen again.

Your add-in works perfectly!
I guess the problem occurs because an other application called "7+ Taskbar Tweaker" that customize the behavior of the task bar might had changed something. Maybe this is the case.

The config in case you are interested.

Anyway, Thank you so much for all the support. You guys are the best!

Don't worry about it! The reason posts into there go into a moderation queue is because so many other people have also done it. :smiley:

Good to know!

I haven't tried with that tool, but I guess it must be doing something different to the Taskbar's normal "don't group" mode.
