What is the difference between pin app and pin window?
An easy way to imagine this is if you use pin window
on a chrome browser window,
only that window will be visible on all desktops. Any other chrome windows would
stay on a single desktop. If you were to pin application
on a chrome window then
all chrome windows would show up on all desktops. This includes new chrome windows.
System Tray Icon

- The icons indicate which desktop you are viewing
Left-Click

Make your own icons and attach them to an issue then I will add them to the program.
