I wasn't trying to say that it did.

I have 3 chrome icons with different profile icons overlayed onto the
primary icon in the bottom right pinned to my taskbar so that is doable.
 The frame labels help when you hover over the taskbar icon with
multiple windows so you can pick which to bring to the front.  It sounds
though as if what is wanted is more the distinguished profile similar to
chrome.  I can achieve that effect with differing installs (different
paths) of Cygwin so it must be doable with one install and multiple
profiles.
