Distinguishing Multiple SL Instances when Task-Switching
Thanks to the Running Multiple Viewers page, I'm running up to four actor alts at once on a MacBook Pro, but switching between them is a bit hit-&-miss, because both the Dock and cmd+tab switching show four identical items: white-on-grey SL logo icons each called "Second Life":
What would be really useful would be, for instance, something like this:
