How Can I Include The App/Shortcut/etc Name As Text with Tabbed Dock Icons?

from Stardock Forums

Is there any way to get the app (shortcut?) names as text with the Icons in my Tabbed Docks? 

A number of the icons I see seem to be some weird default - it seems these are (mostly) for Windows Store apps - and I cannot distinguish them.  Also, I sometimes cannot remember which icon is for which app.  It's not always obvious.  And my memory ain't what it used to be ;-)

Yes, I know I can get this text on mouse-over.  But I don't want to have to move my mouse over each one to find what I'm looking for.

And, yes, I know I can manually change the icons, and usually I do, but when the apps get updated, especially Windows Store app, the icons seem to go back to this weird default.  This is a pain.

Unfortunately, you cannot display the app name unless you hover over the app icon on your dock.

Use unique custom icons so that you recognize the apps.

There are literally thousands of custom icons on WinCustomize. https://www.wincustomize.com/explore/

OK then.  Many thanks.  I don't suppose there's a way to open an enhancement request...

This is an important feature that keeps me from using this app. Please consider adding this feature. The way Stream Deck allows generation of text for button labels would be worth having a look at for functionality, as it allows centering, multi-line, and overlay of "hollow" icons.
