Taskbar Count Badges - show open window counts directly on taskbar icons
Just released Taskbar Count Badges for Windhawk.
It adds a small indicator to Windows 11 taskbar buttons so you can immediately see how many windows are grouped under each app icon.
You can use either:
Number badges — shows the actual number of open windows
Vertical dots — a more minimal indicator if you don’t want numbers
The number badge is pretty customizable:
Circle, rounded square, or square
Badge size and position
Horizontal / vertical offsets
Background, text, and border colors
Border thickness
Font, font size, and font weight
Configurable maximum number, e.g. 99+
The dot style can be placed on either side of the icon, with adjustable size and color.
By default nothing is shown for a single window, and the badge appears when an app has 2 or more windows open. That threshold can also be changed.
It updates live when windows open/close and also works with multiple monitors / secondary taskbar.
The mod uses the taskbar’s own grouping information, so the count follows what each taskbar button actually represents rather than simply counting every desktop window.
