    Ok, I know how to remove the text/labels next to icons in the taskbar but is there a way to keep only the text and remove icons? Also, my time looks really weird and I keep trying to customzie it but it's all vertical instead of horizontal.

    Screenshot of what I have: https://gyazo.com/401bba5d8cbcc289a5bcc74cc2986922 & https://gyazo.com/66fcd70b0e8cc3d0cfffc1bca0c84c7f

    Screenshot of what I'd like: https://gyazo.com/fba676d2d1303ecbe77d4114374ad6f3

    Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

    how do I change google chrome icon?

    If you want to change Google Chrome icon that is shown on the Windows Taskbar once Google Chrome is started, then you should follow this link:

    Is it possible to customize taskbar icons? If so how?

    The answer is given in comments: you need to change icons that are stored in chrome.dll using Resource Tuner (use Trial version) or Resource Hacker (free).

    I've used IcoFX (Trial version) to generate various .ico icons.

    Currently I'm running 4 separate instances of Google Chrome v37.0.2062.124. One instance is installed and three other instances of Google Chrome are portable, downloaded from:

    Google Chrome Portable (web browser) | PortableApps.com

    Here's how my Windows 7 Taskbar looks like when all 4 instances of Chrome are opened:
