I am a registered user and loving displayfusion.
In Windows 7 native taskbar I have created a "Chrome Application Shortcut" and pinned it to the task bar.
This allows it to be a "separate entity" from Chrome on the taskbar and when I click links in gmail in this mode, it opens in a new browser, rather than in a tab in the same browser.
When I put one of these "App-fied" windows on a display fusion taskbar it mixes in with all the regular chrome instances.
I would like it if it would have it's own instance, but not have to configure the task bar to show every instance of the regular chrome browser windows.
You can configure gmail (or any website) to have an application link via this menu sequence: Wrench Icon > Tools > Create Application Shortcuts...
Not sure if it is even possible, but it is one of those areas where I keep getting frustrated by the difference between what can be done on the native taskbar and DisplayFusion.
Unfortunately we're not able to keep the Chrome Application Shortcuts separate at the moment, but we are planning to revisit the issue in the future to see if it can be done. If so, I'll be sure to post an update here.
Thanks!

I understand that this issue still needs to be worked out but I would just like to add my vote in as well.

I'm using the latest beta but the issue is still there. I've attached a screenshot to indicate the problem. As you can see, on Windows taskbar, it detects the Chrome App as a separate application but when we try to pin it on the DF taskbar, it detects it as another instance of Chrome (using the website favicon). This is the same when we try to pin any website using Chrome Application Shortcuts.

Ah, gotcha. I should have clarified: the running Chrome App windows will be kept separate from regular Chrome windows now, but unfortunately at the moment, it's not possible for us to group them with the pinned shortcut on the DisplayFusion taskbar.
However, it's still on our list, so if we're able to fix it up in the future, I'll be sure to post an update.
Thanks!

Anything new on that front? It is really quite annoying to being able to use app shortcuts from chrome with displayfusion.
Perhaps using the PID of the process for grouping would be an option?
