Adding badges over the Access taskbar icon.

[xavier.batlle]

Some examples:

If you are opening multiple front ends on the same computer, you will need to ensure that each one has its own task bar button, for example:

By default, when you open several databases, they are stacked on the same MS Access taskbar button, and this code does not work as expected.

Nice work! Looks a bit like my Android phone interface where such overlays are common.
