Is there a way to have separate icons for Chrome and Hangouts in Unity? All my Chrome windows and Hangouts chats are combined under the Chrome icon.
I swear I've seen them separate before, but I can't figure out how to get that behavior again.

Open a terminal and edit the following files:
gedit $HOME/.local/share/applications/chrome-*&
Find the file corresponding to Hangouts and inside the file remove the following entry:
NoDisplay=true
Typically, the Hangouts file will have the following entry that you can use to identify it.
Name=Hangouts
You can also enable the rest of google applications like google drive, docs etc that are disabled by default. I hope it helps.
The contents of my Hangout file are listed below:
#!/usr/bin/env xdg-open
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Name=Hangouts
Exec=/opt/google/chrome/google-chrome --profile-directory=Default --app-id=knipolnnllmklapflnccelgolnpehhpl
Icon=chrome-knipolnnllmklapflnccelgolnpehhpl-Default
StartupWMClass=crx_knipolnnllmklapflnccelgolnpehhpl
The file name and location is
$HOME/.local/share/applications/chrome-knipolnnllmklapflnccelgolnpehhpl-Default.desktop
NoDisplay=true
