Revert the 2025 Editor taskbar icon

Starting in R2025a, I see that all undocked window types (editor, figures, etc...) have the Matlab membrane logo in their Windows taskbar icons. Previously, they all had their own distinctive icons. I find this terribly inconvenient, since it now takes more effort to locate the window you are looking for and distinguish it visually from the others. Is there any preference setting to revert?

 Accepted Answer

There is no preference to change this behavior. I will capture this feedback so we can look into changing this back in a future release.

Please fix this. Being able to easily switch between many different figures is one of the main reasons why I'm using Matlab for plotting and data exploration, and now that functionality is broken.
Not to pile-on, but I agree 100%, please bring back distinctive icons (esp. Editor).
I second that thoroughly.
